This course brings into focus the direct and indirect relationships that exist between drawing and painting. Drawings will be viewed as independent investigations or as preparatory works leading to a specific painting. Transforming the classroom into a stimulating visual atmosphere is a significant starting point for extended drawing and painting projects that occur throughout the semester. A variety of painting and drawing media is encouraged. Approximately 8 hours of homework a week is expected.
Attendance is mandatory.
The course takes a naturalistic approach to the landscape and interior. The course will move between issues of drawing and painting throughout the semester. The first 10 weeks will focus on Landscape with the last 4 weeks on Interior. The interiors will be done at various sites in and around the city. School vans will be used to get to and from sites.
