Both class-wide, formal critiques and individual, informal discussions are held as a form of testing and learning. The actual body of art work is the most concrete documentation of student performance and evidence of serious engagement in the course of study. To draw - is to call upon resources from both within and without. To draw out from one's wellspring, extracting potential expressions and myriad possibilities is in the domain of this activity.
Drawing is a process, in which visualization is explored as hand, mind, and eye are coordinated.
This activity is a primary example of creative problem solving. The drawing studio is an intense, conducive working environment where ideas are merged with process and product. These are some of the questions explored in a meaningful search for what is important in life. Art offers a process by which significant experience may be codified and recorded. Experiences from both inside and outside the studio, as well as from memory, are utilized as resources for creativity.
