The process of drawing develops a heightened awareness of the visual world.
Your subjective experiences and your objective experiences combine to form a
larger perceptual understanding of the environment in which you live. Drawing
allows you an alternative use of these processes and provides a format for stating
what you know about the world. Drawing is an excellent means for improving
your skills in observing, seeing distinctions, and creating new meanings from
your perceptions. This is an introductory course which will investigate the properties of making an image on the two-dimensional page. While drawing is an
essential basis for much of the artmaking process, its use is not limited to artists.
Design, illustration, engineering, and science are among the many fields which
incorporate drawing.
There are three to five sections of ArtS 100 offered each semester. Although individual faculty members teaching beginning drawing do not follow a common
syllabus, they share common goals. Syllabi for each section are available from
the secretary's office in the W. L. S. Spencer Art Building.
Evaluation will be based primarily on the quality and quantity of work produced
