Course Description:
Drawing has long been held to be the direct expression of an idea that originates in the mind of the artist. In this class, each student will seek to develop their own individual expression of a private inner reality. We will explore drawing both as invention - the first idea and intellectual scheme of a work - and as graphic disclosure. Students will be led to mine memory, both personal and collective; to employ reason, in the form of measurement and descriptive geometry; and, through exploration and play, to exercise imagination as a means of reconciling what might be perceived as competing qualities. Students will be asked to pursue the ineffable, as well as to explore the most concrete qualities of the surrounding world. |
