| A1 | Howey | FLR 346 | R 12:30 pm-3:15 pm | This iteration of Drawing Elective will consist of a collection of weekly assignments that engage both the fundamental visual elements of drawing (mark-making, composition, contrast, balance, tension) and the more subtle, procedural side of the medium (spontaneity, problem-solving, movement, tenor, responsiveness, openness, curiosity, control, risk-taking, and even performativity). It should be noted that this isn’t an observational figure/still-life-based drawing class, but students interested in those approaches will greatly benefit from this course in surprising ways. This unconventional course introduces indispensable artmaking strategies not often overlooked by classical drawing exercises while also being a passageway into more esoteric and expansive understandings of what drawing is, and can be. |
