In this course, you will be asked to use various drawing materials leading up to ink. It is essential that students firmly grasp the differences between a stable media, such as graphite, and an unstable media, like ink. Knowledge of one helps the use of the other, and vice-versa. The first half of the class sessions are devoted to exploring materials – including paper. You will be making various types of drawings with different media. The categories of those drawings are: tonal, line, contour, observational, and imaginary. The latter half of the semester is given over to your own work on a drawing portfolio. More information about that is on the Overview page.
