ART 177 - Drawing in Many Forms

Drawing is a basic building block for visual art and other creative practices. It is important to develop the skill of producing an image on a page. It is also important to think about how to apply the practice of drawing to other methods of making. In this class students will learn some basic methods of drafting an image and begin to apply those methods to other media, platforms, and social contexts. Students will lean on their own intuition in regards to subject matter and styles of representation. The class will begin with making drawings in felt tip pen and over time include watercolor, collage, digital arrangement with Google drawings, risograph printing, and sewing.
