ART2301 Principles of Drawing, crn 11287

Abstract

►This course will cover a series of drawing fundamentals. The goal of this course is the development of a basic vocabulary of drawing as a visual expression and personal language. We will follow a general progression from the use of contour line to 2- dimensional shape and on to full value drawings to represent three-dimensional objects. ►Students will keep a sketchbook throughout the semester to be used for homework assignments. More than 2 absences will result in the lowering of your final grade. Students are expected to be on time to class as we cover the assignment for the day in the first 15 minutes. 3 lates( 7 minutes ) will be counted as one absence. Grading will be based on the combination of attendance, effort and class participation along with the midterm and final assignments. There will be a mid-term review and a final assignment. Class participation and hard work will be counted as well as quantity and quality of work produced. Those without previous drawing experience are not at a disadvantage, nor are those with extensive experience necessarily at an advantage.
