  • ART 110: Introductory Drawing

    3.00 Credits
    Northern Maine Community College

    3 class hours Drawing is the underlying structure for all of the visual arts, including painting, sculpture, graphic design and architecture. Whether used as a preliminary study for more formal work or as a means of making art in and of itself, drawing is a direct means of finding personal expression. Students in this introductory studio course will gain exposure to the drawing experience via a variety of approaches and media while being encouraged to find a personal approach. Working from still lifes, interiors, and models, we will explore line, value, texture, space and composition. Studio work will be supplemented with slide presentations and discussions of the graphic work of established artists and group critiques.
