This module covers the fundamentals of drawing: line work, shading, perspective, and point of view. Through observation, life studies, field work, and extensive hands-on practice, students will develop the ability to see and render the human form, objects, architecture, and nature, enabling them to express ideas in visual form with confidence and clarity. Emphasis will be on the development of observational and rendering skills ‒ improving the ability to see well (and to draw accurately), to correctly render basic geometric shapes (both fl at and with volume), to see that nearly all objects can be rendered using these basic shapes in one form or another, to draw objects (including the human forms) and scenes with confidence, and to re-draw their own existing scenes / renderings from various perspectives and points-of-view relatively quickly, all without the aid of a ruler.
