Description:

3 credits This course offers students a reflexive approach to drawing in an envi ronment where the process of discovery is examined from analytical and artistic points of view. As the name of the course implies, students will focus their attention on extended studies of form and elements found in nature, where keen observational skills translate into accurate and fully realized drawn accounts or records. Utilizing direct observation and field research, students will explore drawn visual records to supplement their scientific inquiries. Offered as a college-wide elective, the request for a course of this nature was a result of young scientists wanting to better communicate their observations and findings through simple drawings. Artists and curious students intrigued with the field of science and the process of discovery are also drawn to this course. Students will perform on-site drawing, research and keep a journal that documents and enhances the field experience. Students will be expected to complete a written research paper documenting field experience as well as exhibiting their drawings during weekly class critiques. Offered: As needed.
