Funds may also be available from the Art Department. Enrollment is limited to 12 students. Fulfills one unit of the humanities requirement at Colorado College. This is a fundamental drawing class emphasizing observational skills and biological drawing. Students will explore form and its relationship to function, distinguish between looking and seeing and investigate how scale impacts the visual experience from the microscopic to larger than life.
Light makes the work visible.
Students will become intimate with the interplay of values which give visual weight to form. Students will also flesh out the nuances of a variety of drawing materials by both traditional an d non-traditional experimentation, as a balance to the more disciplined methods of observational drawing. The seeming differences between Art and Biology will dissolve into a mythical voyage of discovery where those differences become similarities. Good biologists wander in a state of perpetual learning, of constant awareness. The formulation of an hypothesis comes from the observation of something which does not fit what is known.
