This course is essentially the same as ArtS 100 but for students with previous drawing experience who would like a more accelerated pace, whether they are potential studio majors or not. Students will work primarily in black and white media, largely drawing from life. Improvement in compositional skills in conjunction with content is a focus of the course. Students are expected to have some familiarity with line, value, scale, composition, surface, and basic drawing materials. There will be more self-directed projects than in the ArtS 100 class, and more emphasis placed on discussing work. Please see the description above for ArtS 100. (Note: This course is an alternative to ArtS 100 and cannot be taken for extra credit.) Evaluation will be based on evidence of each student's progress as shown in a portfolio of drawings made in class and as homework. The portfolio is presented for evaluation at midterm and at the end of the course. Attendance and participation in class discussions are also considered as part of the course evaluation. Lab fee. No prerequisites. Limited to one section with preference given to Art majors and first-year students. Enrollment limited 20.
