ACTIVITIES:
Students will explore a variety of methods of drawing and a variety of materials. There may be discussion from handouts, in which all will be expected to participate. Critique will be at the discretion of the instructor. Students will explore drawing from life and basic forms concentrating on the accurate rendering of “positive/negative” shape relationships and proportion; accurate rendering of values to show volume, etc.; there will be “on site” drawings executed in a given location from which students will create a series of drawings linked by subject matter, media or theme, and a journal containing information and sketches will be required, as well as any other project deemed beneficial by the instructor.
