ARTS 100(F) Drawing I
The purpose of this course in beginning is to advance your understanding of fundamental aspects of the language of visual communication and expression. Through the development of greater visual acuity, an examination of the structure of the two dimensional image, and the study of appropriate working methods, you will work to give coherent visual form to your own observations, and will develop an enhanced ability to understand the images created by others. The development of appropriate technical skills, strengthening of observational skills, and a basic understanding of the interrelationship between form and content in drawing are the key aims of this course.
Format: studio. Evaluation will be based primarily on the quality of work produced as well as some attention to the student's progress.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit: 16 (expected: 16).
