ARTS 062 - Problems in: Intermedia/Drawing, The Nature of the Abstract


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 4 hours
Attribute: 4HU

What is Abstract Art? How did it come into being? Does it have content? Is it founded in concrete ideas? Is it divorced from social accountability? Is it entropic? What does it communicate or express? These are a sample of the questions to be raised and addressed in this class. They will be addressed through a series of controlled drawing assignments designed to develop both critical thinking and technical drawing skills. Consent of instructor required. Enrollment Limit: 12.
Instructor: J. Pearson
