Description:

3 credits This course assumes that all drawings, abstract or representational, idea-based or expressionistic, must deal in some way with the organization of space. Students explore the use of formal structural elements in painting from Giotto to the present day. Working from still-life motifs and from the model, students discover how spatial relationships seen in nature can be expressed in drawing through the use of shifting, interacting planes, opposing movements of spatial forces, and the creation of large volumes which contain and lend coherence to smaller forms.
