Description:
Drawing is fundamental to all art making. This course encourages students to observe and visually express the spaces and shapes that make up both their close environment and the imagined. Using simple tools and time-honoured techniques, students will explore the creative process of sketching using the following: value, tone, shading, gesture and contour line, crosshatching, and perspective. Homework sketching assignments are not mandatory; however, completing them and follow-up with further experimentation is encouraged. Delivery methods include live demonstrations, slideshow presentations, group discussions and critiques as well as individual instruction. The objectives of the course are to improve observation skills; develop increased awareness of the spatial relationship between objects, planes; expand vocabulary to express abstract concepts; and provide informed feedback during a critique.
