ART 112 Intermediate Drawing (5 credits)
Distribution Area Fulfilled Humanities with Performance; General Transfer Elective
Prerequisite ART 111 with at least a 1.5 grade or instructor permission.
Course Description
This intermediate course is an extension of the fundamentals of representational drawing. This course is designed to allow the serious student to develop skills as a draftsman and broaden capabilities for personal expression.
Course Content
A. Translating three-dimensional form onto a two-dimensional picture plane.
B. The visual elements of line, shape, value, texture and space as they correspond to the principles of organization and creative expression.
C. Expanding vocabulary of line variation (gesture, contour, hatching) to produce volumetric space and flowing transitions of focal interest.
D. Exposure to traditional and alternative mixed media application to emphasize relationship between form, content, and personal conceptual expression.
E. Objective critical analysis of peers’ work through small group critiques.
F. Drawing journal or sketchbook for practice drawings based on direct observation of 3-D forms.
G. Adaptations of historic and contemporary approaches and styles in drawings.
H. Value modeling, chiaroscuro, and tenebrism utilizing various wet and dry media and light conditions.
I. Alternative perceptions and non-traditional representations of figure-ground in still life drawing.
Student Outcomes
1. Create original drawings which demonstrate the ability to interpret the three-dimensional world on a two-dimensional picture plane.
2. Recognize and demonstrate compositional integrity through objective analysis and synthesis of the formal elements of art.
3. Expand knowledge about various drawing methods such as contour, gesture, hatching, and accent lines to record shapes and build value in complex compositional space.
4. Analyze and explore more alternative and experimental uses of mixed media to develop stronger connections between form, content, and conceptual expression.
5. Recognize and articulate objective critical analysis of peers’ work in progress during small group critiques.
6. Reinforce drawing concepts and skill through practice observational sketches in drawing journal.
7. Research and interpret concepts and styles from the history of art for original translations reflective of individual’s artistic voice.
8. Demonstrate ability to render chiaroscuro form through subtractive modeling of transitions in tone.
9. Exploit spatial relationships of figure and ground in composition to create extraordinary passages and abstractions of positive and negative space.
10. Develop disciplined focus and scholarly inquiry in classroom research, discussion, and critiques.
