Drawing Fundamentals

The drawing process has neither a beginning nor an end. As soon as a mark is laid, all the possibilities become evident. The aim of this course is to teach students, either beginner or intermediate, the act of drawing, a process where perception and technique become inseparable from each other.

Students experiment with the media and techniques used to create a variety of two-dimensional (2-D) artworks by developing skills in drawing. Students practice, sketch, and manipulate the structural elements of art to improve mark-making and the organizational principles of design in a composition from observation.

This course will explore a variety of drawing elements; line, contour line, cross-contour line, shape, form, proportion, composition, mark-making and spatial perspective.
