Drawing as Research

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

This course focuses on the use of drawing as a way to organize and refine the conceptual and formal considerations central to each student's individual lines of inquiry regardless of his/her primary medium/discipline/field. While looking at the role of drawing in contemporary art as well as its potential as an interdisciplinary practice, we will explore various drawing approaches that can both problematize and clarify the research process. Emphasis is placed on developing strategies to re-present nonvisual and/or immaterial conditions and information. Projects will be explorations of the prompts from assigned texts and will often incorporate collaborative exchanges as a form of action-based critique.

When Offered Fall or Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: Any 1000- or 2000-level drawing studio and one upper-level ART studio or permission of instructor.
