DRAWING 1
Course Objectives: At the end of this course, students will understand and be able to use the following objectives in future work.
1. Drawing deals with the study of observation. Students will learn the skills to be able to
document their observations through various techniques and media.
2. Students will explore two major areas of drawing: the basic concepts and techniques such
as contour, gesture, composition, value/modeling, and perspective; along with various
drawing media such as pencil, charcoal, and ink.
Requirements: Drawing is a skill, and like any s ore you practice,
the better you will get. It is for this reason that students are encouraged
to attend class regularly, doing all the class work and outside assignments,
and to continue practicing what they have learned by drawing in their sketchbooks
on a daily bases.
NOTE: Part of this drawing class involves working with life models, to gain a better understanding of human form. In with course we will be working with both costume and s. If a student feels uncomfortable or is unable to work with a for any reason, they should talk with the instructor. Drawing from s allows us to observe and understand human form and is considered an intricate part of the drawing cirriculum.
