This course is designed to allow the student to develop advanced skills and to explore the infinite possibilities of personal creative expression inherent in the art of drawing. The main emphasis of the course will be on studio activities supplemented by demonstrations, lectures, discussions and critiques, all of which help to define the nature of drawing. The repeatable aspect of the course allows for a continuum in the student's exploration of his/her artistic interest and creative ideas. (Repeatable for up to 30 hours credit; no more than 6 sh in one semester.) This course is repeatable up to ten (10) times. Students are expected to set higher goals and achieve a higher level of sophistication in successive levels of Studio. Specifically, students will develop their personal imagery, technical ability and increase their knowledge of relevant processes and techniques. They will also increasingly show familiarity with contemporary and historical [painting, printmaking, etc.], especially that which relates to their work. At the more advanced levels of Studio, students will increasingly be expected to pursue opportunities to exhibit their work through juried exhibitions and on-campus venues. A minimum of three (3) hours of work per week outside of class is required.
