Studio Art I: Drawing

This course is a complete and thorough basic drawing course. Mediums used will be pencil, charcoal, conte crayon, and pastel. Work will be done from observation and invention. Line, perspective, value, composition, and introduction to color will be discussed. Assignments will involve students with the formal and technical aspects of drawing and with the idea of drawing as an individual means of expression. No prior drawing experience is assumed or expected. Required of all art majors and minors. Junior and senior non-majors will be assigned unfilled spaces only after art majors have been accommodated. Each section is limited to 20 students. Note that many winter term courses in studio art will count as a substitute for ART 0159. 6 hrs. lect.
