FOU 110 - Foundation: Structural Drawing

3 credits C
One of two studio courses that introduce students to the comprehensive visual language of drawing. Various projects and presentations expose students to numerous drawing approaches, including ways of structuring the picture plane, establishing proportion, creating believable space with linear perspective, and modeling form with shading. Students will apply these skills to idea generation, form development, experimental variations on a design, investigative studies of creative problem solving, and expressions of movement and spatial illusion. Students are also introduced to the processes involved in planning, researching, and actualizing a major drawing project. Critiques and lectures will help students develop an understanding of the critical issues of drawing and of its context within the history of art.
