Take a Studio Art class with us this summer!
ARST-1050-01 Drawing I
Anthony Baab
Maymester May 11- May 22, 2026 MTWTF 10 am-3 pm
This course focuses on drawing from life as the translation of three-dimensional objects onto a two-dimensional surface. This perceptual and technical endeavor requires the development and disciplining of both hand and eye. To aid us in such development, we will systematically address line, shape, proportion, three-dimensional space, value, texture, and composition. Addressing these drawing basics provides the student with the beginnings of a visual vocabulary aimed to serve a variety of personal artistic concerns. Credit Hours: 4
