Drawing I
Course Description:
In this foundational course, students will explore and experiment with a broad sampling of media, techniques, and approaches in Drawing. Students will engage in a variety of drawing experiences such as drawing from observation, perspective, and imagination.
In each area, students will apply the elements and principles of art, art criticism and reflection, and make connections to history and contemporary culture. Emphasis will be placed on generating original ideas and creative expression. Students will be required to keep a sketchbook/journal in which they build, research and refine ideas, and practice skills. Throughout the course students will collect and organize materials in a portfolio including handouts, sketches and rough drafts, final projects, or digital images of these products, visuals and resources, homework, and self-assessments/written reflections.
