ART 177 - Drawing in Many Forms

Drawing is a basic building block for visual art and other creative practices. It is important in ways to develop the skill of producing an image on a page. However, it is just as 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. The class will explore traditional methods of mark making including pencil, pen, watercolor, and other media per student interest. We will also explore and or flirt with collage, digital mark making and production techniques, screen printing, and more.
