This course focuses on drawing as a means of visual inquiry. Students learn to see with an artist’s eye and to know what it is like to look at the world through that lens.
Students learn about gesture, contour line, positive and negative space, visual space, shadow and light, composition, and perspective. They use these methods to render still life, landscape, live model, and the self-portrait. Students manipulate pencil, ink, pastel, oil pastel, colored pencil, and charcoal to complete various projects.
