ARTS 5050 Advanced Drawing Studio

This course is a graduate level course open to graduate students. Emphasis is placed upon self-expression and experimentation with materials. This intensive studio course focuses on content and process. After much creative seaching, through small-scale drawings and experimentation, a cohesive body of work will be produced. Students will create challenging works that express their personal vision and challenge their preconceived ideas about what drawing is. Developing and fulfilling individual project goals, with the continuous imput of both professor and class peers through group and individual critiques, will be stressed. The process of sorting through ideas, writing a plan of action, and producing mature works based on that plan will be taught. A sense of commitment to the process of self-motivation necessary for maturing as professional artists will be the main emphasis. Students are expected to experiment with methods and materials in order to find the best venue for their personal voice. Weekly outside assignments as well as readings and field trips required. Students will be charged an additional Studio Art Fee when enrolling in this course.
