The first of a two-semester sequence of drawing courses. Focus on the language, materials and concepts of drawing as foundation for all the visual arts. Initial emphasis on the development of perceptual, analytical, and structural drawing skills with increasing attention to idea development. Exposure to methods of creating pictorial and illusionistic space; recording the external world of light and form; and making visible the internal world of the heart, the mind, the soul. Experience with line, texture, tone, shape and mass; in a variety of wet and dry drawing media. Open to freshmen in the School of Art, or by instructor permission.
