Drawing II: Color

Catalog description

“Color drawing” implies the process of one “describing” an object or form from observation in a dry color medium. In this course, we will hone our ability to describe the appearance of three-dimensional forms and space onto a two-dimensional surface, a process begun in Drawing I 105. The quest for verisimilitude begun in Drawing I 105 will be continued in 205 to through the reexamination of line, value, and perspective in graduated complexity, and will examine the relationship of color to these familiar formal properties. However, the course will also explore additional means of being “true” to an object or a space beyond the transcriptive nature of verisimilitude. The course will also deal heavily with the nature of color and color theory.
