This course focuses on the theory and practice of drawing at an intermediate level addressing drawing observationally, conceptually, and expressively. Students will enhance their understanding of materials, techniques, processes, and concepts associated with drawing. Projects, critiques, and discussions will build knowledge of drawing vocabulary and prepare students for more advanced and self-determining approaches.

This course will provide support in portfolio development, photographing art, writing artist statements, preparing a CV, and learning about the network of art organizations, granting institutions, and other opportunities that can support students beyond graduation.

The course examines art from the 15th century to the 20th century, focusing on various art forms with examples from both the non-Western and Western canons.
