Measured Drawing: Abstractions and Representation
ARST 433 FA

This course is intended for the student interested in developing an analytical vocabulary in visual language through the study and hands-on exploration of measured/hardline drawing. The mechanical and expressive aspects of this type of drawing will be examined in relationship to techniques and ideas. Emphasis will be placed on analysis, invention, composition, and two- and three-dimensional representation of various objects ranging from small artifacts to buildings. Drawing will begin as a search to discover but will become a means to explain, communicate and celebrate an idea.
