Course Objectives
"Basic drawing is an introductory course that reiterates the premise that the art of drawing is an inherent form of expression and unique graphic experience." This course is designed to teach and develop fundamental visual skills and theory of visual language, particularly as they apply to the representation of 3D illusion on a 2D surface.
Topical Outline
Upon completing this course, students should successfully be able to: 1. Demonstrate the capacity to observe, distinguish and translate your emotional and perceptual responses into unique and powerful two-dimensional equivalent realities. 2. Demonstrate your ability to work in a variety of styles, mediums and processes that most appropriately convey your responses to assigned exercises for personal growth and development. 3. Analyze and apply the ideas and experiences gained from the study of various artists, past and present, to your own emerging artistic/aesthetic position. 4. Increase ability to successfully complete the required outside assignments by "pushing boundaries" beyond the experiences explored in the classroom.
