FNDP 111 - Drawing


Drawing is approached as a process by which the student examines and investigates the visual world. Line, mark, and shape are among the drawing elements emphasized in the first semester. With these tools, students examine the form and structure of various subjects while they improve their manual skills, strengthen their vision, and begin to define their drawing vocabulary. Graphite and charcoal pencils and a range of appropriate papers are the most frequently used materials. Historical precedents are discussed, master works analyzed, and relevant practical information – including the elements of spatial representation – is assimilated into the flow of class assignments. Focus is on the challenges and rewards of developing perceptual skills. Formerly FP 110
