Art Studio 120BV - Drawing I: Obs/Prac/Exper

An intensive practice of observational drawing will challenge common assumptions about how the world is seen and has implications for all aspects of imagination and critical thought. The course will focus on the foundational elements of space, line, tone, value, vision, and the body. It will utilize multiple drawing techniques, tools, materials, and scales, and it will engage in rigorous observation to tap the analytic and expressive capacities of the medium. Studio investigations will be supplemented with critiques, lectures and demonstrations. The work of relevant historical and contemporary artists will be examined.
