Drawing I serves as an introduction to the visual language through the
traditional processes, tools, and materials used in the practice of
drawing. The concepts of basic composition, formal elements of design,
and material techniques are explored in conjunction with placement,
scale, subject matter, pictorial balance, volume, value, mass, spatial
depth, and hand-to-eye coordination. Critical thinking skills and design
vocabulary are exercised in individual and group critiques addressing
the integration of form with content. Discussions and presentations of
drawing ideology expand the students' techniques and perceptions of
themselves as artists within a historical and contemporary context.
