This Core course, required of all BFA majors in Studio Art, introduces students to the concept of illusion through the practice of basic principles and elements of design and composition using the technique of drawing. Drawing is a process of abstraction and translation of the physical world into two dimensions. Principles including scale, balance, emphasis, unity & variety, value, line, shape, and texture will be explored through a range of monochromatic drawing media, including: graphite pencil, charcoal, and ink. Beginning drawing skills will be taught and used through a series of projects that focus on independent decision-making, analysis and the effective use of terminology.
