ART 111 Intro to Drawing

3 hours 

This course develops students' ability to draw while fostering their understanding of drawing as a significant form of communication with its own history and theoretical foundation. Students will study different drawing media and styles and develop a vocabulary of drawing techniques through direct observation, imaginative reflection, imitation, and experimentation. Class time will be divided between drawing exercises and projects, critiques, and demonstrations, and discussions of the historical and theoretical contexts in which drawing can be understood and analyzed.
