This is the first of two foundation drawing studio courses that introduce students to a basic skill at the core of the creative process. It promotes respect for perceptive seeing and visual thinking, and promotes its practice as a matter of intellectual and psychological inquiry leading to levels of invention commensurate with an individual’s developing sense of the world. This first semester affirms the role the human hand has established in effecting the convergence between thought and making and prepares students to consider more technologically mediated approaches as their practice matures. A variety of drawing media and processes will be employed to achieve confident and intelligently articulated visual responses.
