This course is designed to explore the process of drawing through the creation of large-scale works. Instruction in how to use charcoals, pastels and other drawing implements will be ongoing. Students will be using rolls of paper to create drawings that are large in scale and complexity. During the process of working, students will constantly be learning about the formal ideas of creating art: Line, Value, texture,
form, and composition. We will be using a variety of subject matter, including still life, found objects, personal props and models, all to inspire the students to see in a new way. Reaching beyond the traditional drawing and emphasizing a new way of expressing ideas and challenging oneself.
