FAPT 102 - Freshman Drawing

This course is designed to awaken and/or increase the beginning student’s awareness and abilities in drawing as an expressive pictorial form in a Fine Arts sense. It is meant to enrich and add to rather than duplicate the Foundation Drawing experience. The students are made aware of the options and issues in responding to the visual world as well as to the imaginative inner necessity that is at the core of Fine Arts. Included in the course of study is an investigative perceiving and representing of objects and scenes, mark-making as conveyer of feelings, sensations and ideas, and compositional and stylistic strategies that present meaning. The emphasis is always be on awareness of options for expression rather than on closed systems of various pictorial order. Formerly PT 124
