ARTS 210 Drawing II: Observation and Composition

Previously ARTT 203. Designed to build upon the methodologies, concepts, and skill sets gained in Drawing I, students are encouraged to further develop their aesthetic approach, technique, and overall direction within their work through experimentation and research into methodologies, concepts, and skill sets as they apply to advanced topics in drawing. A significant feature of this course is the opportunity for individual student advisement, helping the student to gain insight into his/her personal process and direction as an artist.
