ARTS 101 | Visual Concepts through Painting and Drawing

This course introduces two-dimensional art making approaches and concepts through drawing and painting. Color, form, distinct processes, and attuned engagement with materials will drive this course's focus on formal, expressive, and conceptual understandings of two-dimensional drawing and design. This course will focus on enhancing perceptual awareness, analytical thinking, and relational understandings that underlie composition, spatial illusion, and expressive content. Students will explore and develop facility with a range of drawing materials and water-based pigments.
