Introduction
This practical unit introduces you to key knowledge and concepts used in contemporary drawing practice. You will undertake a suite of exploratory exercises that will develop your practical knowledge of drawing, observation, composition, the visual elements (line, tone, shape, volume, texture), materials, and the representation and interpretation of information and source material.
You will also learn enabling skills for the use of different drawing media, techniques and processes.
Artist talks, lectures, class presentations, group discussion and critique will support practical work. These activities will increase your understanding of the languages of drawing and develop your ability in identifying, describing and communicating (written and oral) the principles and forms of drawing. These will also expose you to a breadth of contemporary drawing practice.
The unit is designed to accommodate students with various backgrounds and experiences, studying in the creative arts or in other subject areas.
