ARTT 204 - Intermediate Drawing

A continuation of ARTT 100, with the further analysis and exploration of drawing skills, techniques, and concepts. Emphasis is on more complex problem solving in the visual interpretation of natural and fabricated forms. Students will utilize a variety of black-and-white and color drawing media. PREREQUISITE(S): ARTT 100 or consent of department. Two hours lecture, four hours studio each week. Formerly AR 114.

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.
Utilize line, value, and color in a personally-expressive way. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Develop a mark-making system to analyze, depict, and critique three-dimensional form and space in a two-dimensional environment. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Apply principles of perspective to complex spatial problems. (Abstract Theoretical Concepts)
Develop a conceptual framework to understand, represent, and communicate about the visual experience. (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)
Analyze and accurately represent, in two-dimensional terms, complex subject matter and spatial environments. (Observational Skill)
Employ a variety of media in developing two-dimensional drawing parallels for the observed environment. (Technical Skill)
