syllabusRegardless of visual field, drawing is an integral communicative and expressive tool. Through discussion, research, critiques and class work, we will reinforce the fundamentals of drawing (consideration of line, space, form, shading and perspective) and then move on to a more personal mode of expression addressing art/drawing as a social experience. In each case the development of an independent and personal practice is expected.
