ARCH 409B - Material Drawings, Unforeseen Drawings, Expanding Drawings

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

To create work that discovers its own criteria and validates itself without relying on literal-as-possible representation, thin-as-air theory, or technical invention, is an art in itself. In this course, you create drawings (and paintings, if so desired) that explore drawing as an act of material engagement, ever-focusing exploration, and shifting scale. The semester is divided into three segments of approximately five weeks apiece, each section focusing on one particular way of generating and subsequently challenging your work. The entire sequence is a 3-credit course, but you can sign up for one or two standalone sections, at 1 credit each. For all 3 credits, you should enroll in all three sections of the course.
