ART 128, 128, 228, 270 - Drawing 1 - 4


These courses are a studio course in drawing.
Drawing 1:  The student will be introduced to methods and techniques based on the elements and principles of design. The emphasis will be the development of observational and compositional skills, and a heightened sense of creativity. 
Drawing 2: A continuation of Drawing I focusing on refinement of observational and compositional skills, and development of an individual approach to drawing problems.
Drawing 3: A continuation of Drawing II, concentrated practice in observational drawing. Emphasis will be placed on compositional skills necessary to create finished works of art with an individual style.
Advanced Drawing [4]: Independent study into the exploration of style and content through drawing, perhaps relating to other fields or processes such as painting and printmaking.
