This is a perceptual drawing course. The goal of this course is to develop eye-hand coordination and an understanding of methods and materials. The fall semester concentrates on line and value. It also begins to explore compositional approaches to drawing as it is used as a finished art form.
Students work in the classroom observation under the guidance of the instructor.
This course is a basic foundation course required for all art majors. The course will emphasize compositional visual structure through the principles and elements of art including line, shape, value, color, and texture. Students will develop their skills in drawing and painting as they work on assignments that solve visual problems. This course introduces students to the basic principles, processes, and materials of three-dimensional design through a series of projects which stress problem solving, experimentation, and tangible results. Students explore form and space by studying such concrete design elements as line, plane, volume, mass, surface, composition, scale, and proportion.
