student work

A second semester Foundation course where students transfer and expand acquired skills from Drawing and Building Form with the addition of color, problem finding, and complexity of idea. Acquisition of research skills, an exploration of modern and contemporary notions of cityscape and landscape, and the introduction of more varied drawing media fosters students’ realization of aspects of personal vision.

Students explore and exploit materials to discover unique processes in creating novel form.  The study of three-dimensional design expands to encompass meaning construction, composition and research as students engage the more complex issues of form and space. 

Sequenced instruction provides rigorous training in the use of gesture, anatomy, and structural figure drafting. Structural drawing and perceptual skills are expanded through study of the figure’s relation to environment, life-scale, movement, and draping.  Students discover individual sensibilities of mark-making and aspects of personal vision through a variety of traditional and experimental drawing media and techniques.
