Drawing

Fall 2026

Drawing

This course introduces drawing from observation as both a foundational skill and a way of thinking, seeing, and developing ideas. Through sustained observation, students will explore the fundamental structures of drawing, including line, shape, value, proportion, space, perspective, and the relationship between individual parts and the whole. Working with materials such as graphite, charcoal, and ink, we will draw from still life, the human figure, and portraiture while developing both technical ability and a greater sensitivity to material and process.
