ARST 110 - Introduction to Drawing

FC ARHU

4 credits
Focused on drawing from observation to sharpen perceptual awareness, this course will initiate students in the practice and appreciation of graphic expression, with an emphasis on developing an understanding of both traditional and contemporary pictorial concerns. Diagrammatic line and principles of perspective will be presented as spatial and compositional concepts. Assignments will include: graphically locating objects on a ground plane; use of line, value, shape, and texture as descriptive design vocabulary; the human figure as dynamic form; and engaging representation and abstraction as responsive narrative. This course was formerly taught as ARTS 040.

This course is appropriate for new students.
