Prerequisites: Drawing I. This course is intended for students who have completed their foundation in drawing (such as Drawing I) and who are interested in exploring ways in which drawing is used in contemporary practice. All students will be given assignments and be required to do in class and homework accordingly. This course builds upon the Techniques students learned during their foundation and is meant to bridge theoretical and practical creation of work through the introduction of numerous contemporary art mediums and the student?s exploration of these.
Required Supplies: During orientation, students will receive a list of textbooks they are required to purchase. Students will be expected to provide their own supplies from a supply list. Instructors will supply the lists during the first week of classes. Students should not purchase any texts and/or supplies before orientation.
DESCRIPTION
This course is designed for foundation level drawing students who have already taken drawing I and are wishing to continue their study of observational drawing. While the emphasis remains on accuracy, clarity, observation and realistic rendering, individual creative solutions are encouraged in this class. Throughout the semester, students will be challenged to find their own creative means to eloquently express their ideas in drawing through various drawing media. Lessons are enhanced by lectures, onsite visits, and slides that include both old master and contemporary works.
