ART 280: Advanced Drawing

Building upon the fundamentals of drawing and design established in Basic Drawing, this course will examine advanced drawing techniques, intuitive and more personally expressive approaches to drawing, as well as contemporary art-making strategies. The topics covered include realistic drawing, figure drawing, constructing a drawing from the imagination, and informing a drawing's content. Readings relevant to contemporary artistic issues will be periodically assigned and discussed in class. A visit to a New York art museum will also be scheduled.
