Drawing II: Descriptive Drawing

Catalog description

“Descriptive drawing” implies the process of describing an object or form from observation. In this course, we will hone our ability to describe the appearance of three-dimensional forms and space onto a two-dimensional surface. The development of verisimilitude begun in Drawing I will be continued here through the reexamination of line, value, and perspective in graduated complexity, and will examine the a variety of markmaking and material approaches to these fundamentals. This course will also explore additional means of being “true” to an object or a space beyond the transcriptive nature of verisimilitude. This exploration will involve the student systematically considering the relationship of how one draws to what one draws in course assignments.
