Advanced Freehand Drawing

Instructor: TBA

3 Credits [E]

Drawing is not a “talent,” it is a willingness to pay attention. The “talented” succeed through a desire to be specific and precise, to convey a connection to, a “feel” for, that being observed. Drawings, like buildings, are the result of a process involving an understanding of structural and surface conditions,the role of geometry, and a sensitivity to the effects of light. Exercises involving freehand drawing develop attentiveness and engagement, with special emphasis on the development of a personal sketchbook.
