As part of this workshop, students will practice drawing through exercises and experiments involving various graphic techniques such as watercolor, gouache on paper, neocolor, gray pencil, colored pencil, charcoal, or collage. Periodic articles from journals and specialized magazines will provide insights into the current state of drawing.
From proposals in a course handout, students will produce paper-based works within a personal research framework, becoming familiar with concepts such as abstraction, representation, the use of a "reserve," color, and the development of a coherent series of drawings.
The reproduction of an image through drawing, the dissolution of a subject through various graphic techniques, and the creation of a graphic narrative will serve as specific themes that will enable students to grasp the diverse possibilities of drawing.
