Foundation Drawing I
This course is an undergraduate, freshman level foundations course. Instruction in this course does not assume students have any strongly developed drawing skills. It is further assumed that experienced students profit by exposure to a systematic exploration of drawing methods. Its primary purpose is to introduce students to basic concepts in drawing and then, begin to develop more creative and expressive responses. Drawing I moves the student into a more volumetric understanding of drawing as well as considerable emphasis on observational and formal composition and design.
