An introduction to the concepts, materials, and techniques of drawing. Instruction and practice in basic media will increase seeing ability, visualization, communication, and personal expression. Most drawing is done from life and emphasis is placed on visual communication. Since this is a required course for art majors the priority for acceptance in this course is: 1) declared art majors and freshman art majors, 2) transfer art majors, 3) art minors, and 4) non-art majors. Non-art majors will need the signature of the instructor. Lecture/critique: one hour per week. Studio: four hours per week.

This course provides an introduction to the materials and the basic techniques of drawing.
