Description:

Drawing is a fundamental skill and a practice that is integral in art, design, and architecture practices and relevant to all programs at the College. Drawing 1 courses are designed to increase competency through the development of observational skills. These courses will introduce how drawing connects to multiple disciplines and is informed by diverse cultural contributions. Through developmental, weekly assignments, students practice the craft and precision of drawing, while coordinating fine motor skills with visual communication. Attention is given to building professional time management skills. Students choose one drawing course from the selection offered. Each Drawing 1 course emphasizes a focused approach and select materials to develop and strengthen drawing skills. Formal properties include: line, contour, volume, value, shadow, composition, negative/positive space, figure/ground relationship, perspective, planar analysis, focal points, and proportion.
