INTRODUCTION TO DRAWING & PAINTING Description: This course is designed to increase the skill level of all students while also introducing historic approaches to creative thinking and art making. As they develop their capacity for prolonged observation of objects, they learn to see and depict details with more accuracy and develop more sophisticated mark-making skills. Using these, they more accurately depict volume, surface texture, proportions and relative scale within the picture plane. They make decisions with regard to composition. They take into consideration relative size, and positive and negative shape arrangements to create an aesthetic still-life, portrait or painting base. This course is meant to prepare students for more freedom of design at our advanced levels of two dimensional art.
