  • ART 207: Drawing II:Drawing from Nature

    4.00 Credits
    Bard College

Part of this course is analytical in nature and utilizes perceptual work (including observation through microscopes) to acquire visual information about basic structures in nature, growth patterns, and other phenomena less than immediately apparent to the eye. This visual data is adopted for continued exploration on drawing projects. Prerequisite: Art 107-108.
