Program Overview
Art 2233 | Drawing III
Drawing III is a continuation of ART 1223, further developing drawing skills and concepts for advanced students.
Project 1: Paper
Create an engaging drawing portraying paper as your subject matter. The paper in your drawing can be depicted in the following manner:
- Torn, cut
- Creased, folded
- Twirled, rolled, curled
- Woven, interlaced
- Crumpled, shredded
- Stacked
- Folded into paper sculptures or architectural structures Combine at least 2 or more categories from the above-mentioned list. Carefully consider the interaction of positive and negative shapes in your composition. You may collage or incorporate actual paper into your drawing if you so desire.
Project 2: Non-representational/Non-objective Drawing
Create a non-objective drawing incorporating any or all of the art elements of line, shape, value, color, and texture. Do not make a drawing that represents actual objects. Consider how the art elements work together to create a strong composition. You are not required to use all the art elements; you can always limit yourself to one or two.
Project 3: CAAD & CALS Exhibition
Project 4: Narrative
A narrative is essentially a story or an account of events. For this project, you are to create a drawing that tells an interesting story. There is no limitation to the subject matter and setting/location for your narrative, but it must include all of the following objects:
- One unicycle
- One spaceship
- One or more chickens/roosters
Project 5: Abstraction
Create an abstract drawing of a landscape or interior of a room or building. To create an abstract drawing, you should think of "simplifying" or reducing your landscape or interior into formal elements of line, shape, value, color, and texture. The drawing must be in color and must be executed in a variety of media.
