Drawing
AR 133 Drawing 4
The study of drawing as a way of learning to see, investigating the material world,
and making imagined ideas visible. Through drawing from observation, students will
study proportion, visual relationships, compositional structures, and drawing processes.
Students will explore the expressive potential of a range of drawing materials and
gain awareness of touch, gesture, speed, and visual rhythm. Historical and contemporary
drawings will provide a context for study. Weekly critiques and discussions will inform
student work. No prior experience is necessary.
Note(s): Fulfills art requirement. Lab/ Credit Fee $25.
