Experimental Drawing Practices

Catalog description

In this introductory course students will gain an expanded view of how seeing, drawing, and thinking contribute to organizing and expressing one's visual thoughts and ideas. Through hands-on studio projects, visual thinking will be emphasized as a creative practice that augments intellectual thought and teaches problem-solving skills. Through an interdisciplinary approach, students will discover new ways of organizing visual space and reflect on the myriad of approaches to working with their hands and new materials both found and new. Projects will include a wide range of mark making, collage, collotypes, and other layering techniques. This course is designed to be open and accessible to all students.
