Drawing for Painting (DRWG 205)
This course will examine the different stages of drawing used in the set up for a painting. Ideas will be explored through sketches and conversation in order to get a clear set of drawings to start a painting from. The history of sketching for painting will be explored as well as how to record ideas, sketch from life and transfer drawings to canvas or board. A variety of drawing techniques will be used to find the right approach, this is based on the individual students ideas and choice of subject matter. The transfer from drawing to painting creates another area to challenge oneself. There is no slavish rendering of the drawing to the canvas; part of the course will examine this grey area where a certain ambiguity creates endless possibilities to create paintings informed by drawing. The class will include visual presentations, demonstrations, discussion and critique.
