Experimental Drawing

X433 (2 semester units in Art)

This course encourages you to discover and develop a unique partnership between a drawing medium and your imagination, intuition, and experience by exploring various ways of seeing, both perceptually and conceptually. In studio projects, you create imaginative, fantasy, or dream works, and experiment with abstractions based on realism as well as sounds, ideas, and words. You study the relationship of medium to mood while working with a variety of media, including charcoal, pencil, pastel, ink, watercolor, acrylic washes, gesso, and gels, and experiment with unconventional media such as natural pigments, textural elements, and found materials to stretch your drawing technique in new directions. Note: Bring soft vine charcoal and an 18" x 24" drawing pad to the first class.

Prerequisite: Drawing Fundamentals X405 or consent of instructor.
