ARTS 3306 Drawing 3: Expanded Practice
Fresh ideas and approaches to drawing are essential for the creative development of a department and its students. This class will explore both traditional and new conceptions of what drawing can be. We will conduct our investigation using traditional materials as well as new media in the service of crossing and pushing established boundaries. Utilizing and deepening our understanding of "mark-making' we will further explore drawing's breath and expanse across disciplines as well as its potential to expand on the what it means to 'draw from observation'."
