60-455 Advanced DP3: Expanded Drawing

10 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Expanded Drawing explores drawing as a dynamic practice that moves beyond the page. In this course, students will experiment with scale, materials, and technology to push the boundaries of what drawing can be. Looking at artists such as Julie Mehretu, Nicóla Lopez, Sougwen Chung, and Casey Reas, we'll explore how to create new processes and tools for drawing.Through hands-on projects and collaborative exploration, we'll rethink mark-making as both a physical and conceptual process, engaging with large-scale techniques and new media. This class is designed for students ambitious to challenge their assumptions, expand their visual vocabulary, and discover unexpected possibilities in the act of drawing.
