Drawing & Design
Welcome to Drawing and Design!
In this course, students are introduced to the primary concepts of drawing and design using exercises designed to enhance artistic skills and appreciation. These drawing and design principles develop a student’s capacity to think creatively and to develop an eye for aesthetics. Exercises include gestural drawing, contour drawing, the use of values to add dimension, portraits, visual composition, and proportion. Students gain experience drawing with pencil, charcoal, colored pencils, soft pastels, oil pastels, alcohol markers, pens, and printmaking.
