In the second semester, there will be a possibility of working on an independent and individual project. Students will consider their practical work in its historical context. The student is permitted to attend the course in either the fall or spring semester or during the whole year. This workshop deals with two kinds of media and their historical development. Lithography on stone includes preparing the stone, lithographic drawing with chalk and ink, and additional drawing techniques.
Etching includes line cauterization, dry etching, and deep cauterization.
Students will have to complete two projects in each media. Students will consider and render the human figure in every day life situations with an emphasis on putting human beings in their natural environments. During the course there will be lessons with a model in the studio. Students will work with models to understand the language of drawing. Through the use of line, shape and color within a pre-determined framework, the student will learn the tools for individual expression.
