The term "drawing from nature" is used both literallyand figuratively. 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.

Integrated Arts What was once dismissed as "comic book" arthas emerged as a genre capable of expressing a full range of profound human emotion. Art Spiegelman ( Maus) and Ben Katchor ( Cheap Novelties) have given new credibility to the notion of serious fiction in which serial drawings are as essential as text. In this course students use the "strip" format to produce two short piecesand one longer piece of original picture fiction or reportage-developing a story line and dialogue, executing the drawings and text, and making the finished art. Prerequisite: some demonstrated competence in drawing.

Students learn firsthand how technical processes and the character of materials affect the development of modern sculpture- in clay, wax, and plaster modeling, and in different methods of casting, carving, welded construction, and fabrication. Students undertake significant critical reading and writing assignments while also developing independent studio projects based on course work.
