Description:

Basic Drawing is a year-long perceptually based course that aims to have the student understand the activity of drawing as a means to study form a process of building and discovery, not mere duplication. Central to the aims of the class is the concept that composition is the organization of a drawing and is directly involved with the application of design principles. Students will study the visual differences that give rise to the perception of light, volume, location and proportion in deep or shallow pictorial space. Other concepts covered include the tactility of the mark and how it is employed in the service of organizing and unifying the surface of a drawing and how perspective is used as a means to translate a subject into a construct of measured angles and plotted reference points. A variety of drawing tools and materials will be used to produce drawings by means of both line and tone. Satisfies: First Year Requirement
