DR1220: Academic Drawing: Still Life, Portrait and the Figure
This course incorporates traditional methods of studying drawing used by the European art academies for centuries. Structurally, the course consists of several long-term assignments such as still life, portrait, and figure. The emphasis is on tonal drawing, which teaches students to see relationships between the most complex characteristics of the form and corresponding tonal values of the materials used. This type of drawing is very beneficial to painters, since the result is very close to the grisaille technique in painting.
