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 the "reserve," color, and the development of a coherent series of drawings. The technique of "grid method" will be particularly used to construct an image at different scales. The rendering of an image through drawing, the dissolution of a subject through various graphic processes, and the creation of a graphic narrative will constitute specific thematic areas that will enable students to grasp the diverse possibilities of drawing.
