What is it and why should I do it?

In this semester, students will develop an understanding of how perception and ways of seeing can enhance their ability to draw from through observation and express unique creative ideas. They will investigate past and present artists from various cultural backgrounds and perspectives.

 Students will develop a toolbox of drawing techniques, which they can use to solve issues that may arise independently during the drawing process. They will gain critical and analytical skills by examining artworks, reflecting on their work, and building their understanding and ability to apply art elements and principles to create finished drawings.

In this course, students will experiment with various drawing materials and techniques such as:

• Oil pastel
• ink
• fine liners pens
• graphite (grades of pencils)
• charcoal
• watercolour
• resist techniques
• gouache
