RCARTS 288: Beginning Drawing

UM Residential College – Fall 2015

This class focuses on drawing as a means of visual inquiry and it provides an introduction to the basic principles of drawing and composition from both traditional and contemporary approaches. Projects will direct students to investigate line, shape and value via representations of interior still lifes, portraits, the human figure, landscapes, and scenes from their own imagination. Tailored assignments will explore concerns pertaining to line and contour, positive and negative space, proportional measuring, gesture, perspective, value gradation and color theory, amongst others.
