ARTS3110

An intermediate level course that expands upon skills learned in beginning drawing. Students further develop and refine drawing techniques and concepts, as well as basic skills of drawing the human form. Specialized drawing techniques in dry and wet media will be introduced as well as contemporary, experimental, and conceptual approaches and issues. Experimentation with a variety of materials will be encouraged. Creative problem solving techniques will be discussed and applied. This rigorous course is designed to aid in the development of skills in dealing with formal issues in drawing such as line, tone, space, and composition. Students will also develop their own content, in relation to their context, and begin to develop their own artistic style or vision. Exploration of individual approaches and self-directed concepts are stressed. We will develop the verbal and analytical skills necessary to critically examine students' work. Studio work outside of scheduled class time is expected.

prerequisite: ARTS 1101 or 1104
