ART 307 — Beginning Drawing
This course will focus on developing basic skills in objective, representational, freehand drawing in various two-dimensional media. Through lecture and studio practice, students will explore representational, abstract, non-objective, and conceptual approaches to drawing. This course will also introduce the visual language of drawing, composition (the elements and principles of design), historical and contemporary rendering techniques and drawing as creative personal expression. Fundamentals of representationally figurative drawing (referencing either live nude model or 2D photo reference) will be emphasized. This course is intended for older adults to maintain and improve creative expression through art.
