ARTS 103 Drawing I: Observation and Invention
Previously ARTT 109. This course focuses on the theories, practices, and techniques of drawing as a descriptive tool and mode of personal expression. Through observation, students will apply the traditional conventions of drawing, employing line and value, to develop form, render space, portray the effects of light, and exhibit accuracy in shape, proportion, and scale. Exploring the strategies and techniques used in drawing from observation and invention, students will develop a greater conceptual understanding of drawing as an expressive medium. Research tools such as thumbnail sketches, quick studies, and sketchbooks are used to develop ideas and enrich students’ understanding of drawing. Subjects may include still life, landscape, architecture, portraiture, and figures.
