The unique resources of the natural and urban environment provide fertile ground for creative exploration. You discover form and texture in plants and food, see light and space in the interaction of buildings and landscape, find color and composition in the interplay of people and things, and examine the use of symbols. As you explore how line, form, light, color, and composition are revealed in everyday places and objects, you uncover a personal visual language and iconography distilled from your home, work, and public environments. Working both in the studio and out in the field, this course offers rich opportunities to experiment with media and imagery in new ways that expressively reflect the ephemera of daily life. Bring a pencil and sketch pad to the first class meeting.
