ARTT 206 - Figure Drawing II

A continuation of ARTT 205, with further analysis and exploration of the concepts and techniques introduced in ARTT 205. Emphasis is placed on more complex problem solving in the visual interpretation of the human figure as a separate study and in relation to its environment. Students will use a variety of black-and-white and color drawing media. PREREQUISITE(S): ARTT 205 or consent of department. Two hours lecture, four hours studio each week. Formerly AR 215.

3 semester hours

Course Outcomes:
Upon course completion, a student will be able to:

Demonstrate creative problem solving through the application of abstract theoretical concepts, development of observational skills, and the use of technical skills.
Employ a mark-making system to represent a convincing sense of the dynamics of the pose. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Integrate complex figure and environment relationships in two-dimensional terms. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Employ a variety of conceptual approaches to analyze and represent the figure in its environment. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Integrate media, technique, and expression in the development of a personal visual idiom for representing the figure in its environment. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Develop a conceptual framework to understand, represent, and communicate about the visual experience of the figure in its environment. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Utilize expanded art terminology in reading, writing, and oral critiques to analyze and discuss the technical, aesthetic, and conceptual components of a drawing. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Demonstrate the ability to accurately represent proportional relationships in a wide variety of poses. (Observational Skill)
Employ anatomical knowledge and demonstrate an understanding of figure structure to solve complex problems in foreshortening. (Technical Skill)
Utilize anatomical knowledge to understand and represent specific surface features of the figure. (Technical Skill)
Develop the facility for quickly representing the action of the figure in increasingly complex poses. (Technical Skill)
