ART103 — Drawing I: Foundations
This course introduces basic drawing principles and techniques in a studio setting. Students explore control and tonal drawing using various subjects and media in both observational and conceptual drawings. Projects will incorporate a variety of ability levels, as well as traditional and nontraditional media (including digital images). Critical thinking skills such as problem solving, understanding the creative process (from idea to finished product), and addressing visual and conceptual themes are essential parts of the course, reflected in the studio projects. An end of the semester portfolio represents students' growth and artistic development.
