- Drawing Terrain

Catalog description

Drawing helps us see! Students will make keen observations and interpretations of the landscape through the immediacy and directness of drawing. This course introduces illustrative methods in a variety of media to render our visual world accurately. Still, it will also include explorative and experimental mark-making methods to reveal what we cannot see. We will study a wide range of visual artists who use drawing to tackle the environment as subject matter, inspiration, and even as material. Art projects will occur in the studio and outside. Hands-on art activities about the landscape will be supplemented with various course readings, discussions, and presentations to contextualize an art practice to the broader world.
