This course provides students with an intensive drawing experience using a variety of media, techniques, and methods. Students will develop strategies while working from observation, which emphasizes weight, volume, and form. Still life objects, interior, and exterior spatial drawings are a key emphasis of this class. Individual and group critiques are used to inform and strengthen the student's awareness of key concepts and to allow dialogue about the various aesthetics, strategies, and methods used in the creation of the work.
