    One unit. This class is designed for students who have successfully completed studies in Drawing I and II. The goal of the course will be to further the students' technical skills as well as to develop a deeper conceptual understanding of the language of drawing. The imagery will derive from a study of still life, the human model, and landscape, but will also rely upon the students' more personal imagery deriving from sources such as memory and imagination. We will explore, as well, the abstract possibilities of drawing, attempting in our work to take the concept of drawing beyond the idea of a preparatory sketch and investigate the use of drawing as a fi nished statement. The class size will be limited to encourage a seminar-type atmosphere and free exchange between teacher and students. Prerequisites: AR 105, 205. Offered as required.
