Description (ECIAD)This studio course provides focused studio time to explore perceptual and conceptual approaches to drawing. Students will explore the use of various drawing materials and tools. Techniques will investigate methods to build hand-eye coordination and ways to use imagery as a base for creative exploration. Experimental and process-related approaches to drawing will be incorporated to expand students' understanding of what a drawing can be. Activities include working from still life, live models, inventive exploration, collaborative exercises, and engaging in historical and contemporary research. Discussions and individual/group critiques develop critical and analytical skills. The curriculum may include a variety of approaches including readings, artist presentations and field trips.
