This course explores drawing as a tool for visual exploration and creative thinking. Students will work from still life arrangements, portraits, and live models, using observation as the foundation for imaginative interpretation. Rather than focusing solely on representation, the class encourages students to experiment with line, gesture, proportion, and expressive distortion. Drawing will be approached as a dynamic process that allows artists to reinterpret reality and develop their own visual language. The goal of the course is to help students understand drawing not only as a technical skill but also as a form of creative investigation. Key Topics • Gesture and expressive line • Creative interpretation of observed forms • Composition and visual experimentation • Development of personal drawing approaches Supply List: Graphite pencils, charcoal, ink (optional), drawing paper, kneaded eraser, and basic drawing tools.
