This course will introduce you to the possibilities of drawing as an endeavour to challenge the way we see, imagine, and discover the world around us. Working directly from objects and later in the course, the human figure, students will develop observational drawing skills exploring conceptual and perceptual processes, and develop familiarity with a range of materials, techniques, and strategies to engage with drawing as a means of creative expression. Materials and methods explored include graphite, coloured pencil, additive and subtractive methods with willow and compressed charcoal, pen and ink, Conté, Aux deux crayons, and Trois crayons methods. All levels of experience are welcome.
Please note in weeks 7, 8 and 9 an additional $10 is required to assist covering life model fees.
