COURSE DESCRIPTION

GDES 1B11
Drawing as Graphic Visualization
0.50 Credit(s)
Studio
Working from life and still life - with emphasis on drawing as seeing and drawing as conceptual and analytical interpretation - from 3D realism to shape abstraction. The power of composition and cropping/framing/viewpoint are explored as key image-making tools. Via a variety of drawing projects, the student develops an understanding of simplification/abstraction/flatness/illusion as important aspects of visualization and conceptualization. Experimentation with a variety of materials and techniques explores the expressive capacities of drawn line, texture and value to engage the emotions as well as the intellect. Process work with roughs, thumbnails and multiple images develops the working skills important to graphic designers.
Notes: Required for Graphic Design.
