• ART 105: Drawing I

  3.00 Credits

  Community College of Philadelphia

  
  0-6-3 Drawing I focuses on the basic principles of drawing. Through working from direct observation, students learn about the elements (concepts) and mechanics of drawing. Students will be taught how to control the placement of objects on the page, and the use of sight measuring - sighting along a pencil to compare distances and angles and to compare height vs. width. Students will also be taught how to construct geometric forms using sight measuring, perspective (convergence), transparent construction (drawing every object as though you can see through it) and tone (value). Students will learn about the materials and supplies of drawing through demonstrations given by the instructor and through the drawing process. Throughout the course, art history will be referenced to illustrate concepts discussed in the course.

  3.00 Credits

  Community College of Philadelphia

  
  0-6-3 This course is a continuation of basic three-dimensional design concepts, as introduced in Art 111. These concepts are strengthened and reinforced in Art 112 through further development of technical and design issues as they apply to working sculpturally. Art 112 emphasizes two aspects of working sculpturally not covered in Art 111: content and mass. The incorporation of the element of content, both conceptual and perceptual, stresses the importance of message and meaning in art. Students will confront traditional methods of sculpting mass, including both the additive and subtractive processes of modeling and carving. Projects are designed to encourage development of a personal artistic aesthetic. Prerequisite: ART 111
