ARTS 103 | Visual Concepts through Drawing and Print Media

This course introduces approaches and concepts for two-dimensional contemporary art making through drawing and printmaking. Through visual, tactile, and expressive means, this course focuses on using drawing and graphic media to develop ideas, heighten perceptual awareness, and explore visual language. Direct drawing media such as graphite, ink, and cut paper are explored, as well as indexical and stencil-based approaches such as frottage, pochoir, screenprint, and relief. In addition, students engage in thematic research and inquiry into various artwork formats such as singular, multiple, and serial work.
