ARCH 402C - Advanced Freehand Drawing II

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

Some people maintain that we can only understand things if we draw them, and we only understand the things that we draw. This course in freehand drawing and sketching from observation rather than construction explores drawing as a synthetic process, as a design process, as a thinking process. Moreover, because a good deal of the course involves nontraditional and unexpected materials, a major theme of the course is the intersection of image/idea and material-the influence that material has on image/idea and the influence that image/idea has on material choice. Large drawings, small drawings; long drawings, short drawings; line, tone, color ... you learn to think on your feet using only your eyes and your hands.
