ARTS 2110 - Intermediate Drawing

4.5 Credits

Intermediate Drawing continues the study of the skills acquired in Elementary Drawing with an emphasis on the use of color and mixed media. Exposure to digital media drawing tools is encouraged but optional. Subject matter includes objects, still life, spatial issues and may include the figure. Emphasis is placed on formal composition, visual communication, and creativity as well as observational drawing. Modern and contemporary drawing strategies are also explored. Critiques and group discussions address form and content as well as methods of visual communication. Students continue to be encouraged to find personal solutions to drawing problems and to develop at least one project of their own design.
