You will be introduced to figure drawing, portraiture, perspective, and media experimentation. By the end of the semester, you will understand the importance of drawing as a visual language as well as a means of thinking. You will be expected to expand your mindset of what constitutes drawing and apply skills, knowledge and ideas from other studio classes and academic studies to your work.
