  • ART 101: Drawing I

    3.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    This introductory course will focus on learning to see and learning to translate what is seen into two dimensions. Learning to see often requires overriding what the brain knows and learning to trust one’s growing skill at visual response. Translating visual information to the page involves developing skill with line, shape, space, form, and composition. The intent is to develop a broad visual vocabulary which allows communication of the subject matter with sensitivity in charcoal, pencil, ink, and collage. This involves working from life, including the figure, and using slides to clarify and enrich what we do through references to art history. Studio supplies fee: $20. Flanagan, Read, Staff/ Three credits
