COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

 

1.  Demonstrate improved perceptual awareness of visual elements and compositional concerns.

2.  Develop and apply the concepts of line, volume, light, tonal and textural contrasts, and space in greater depth.

3.  Employ a greater variety of graphic media, tools, and surfaces.

4.  Demonstrate competence in using this greater range of media and tools appropriately, flexibly, and imaginatively.

5.  Demonstrate independence and ability to critically analyze and judge one's own work and the work of others.

6.  Investigate the non-objective: the unconscious, the gestural, the spontaneous, the improvisational.

7. Involve a more personal approach to and greater self-expression in drawing.

8.  Define health and safety issues that could arise from the use of graphic arts materials. Properly use spray fixatives, inks and other drawing materials safely.
