ARTS 214 - Drawing from the Environment

FDR: HA Fine Arts Distribution
Credits: 4

Prerequisite: ARTS 111 This intensive, place-based drawing course allows students to practice drawing skills, encourages students to think about the conceptual content of drawings, and requires students to produce a series of drawing projects informed and constrained by a specific natural environment. The class includes instruction on the environmental context of our course location, including instruction in the ecology, natural history, and geology. Nearly all of the course occurs outside. Image presentations, readings and discussions about place-based and site-oriented art provide a conceptual foundation.
