Course Outline

This drawing course is designed to explore basic drawing techniques and styles. In this course, we will study and apply the elements and principles of design. Participants will also develop a greater understanding of two-dimensional composition. Participants will review and demonstrate the following: contour line, stippling, shading, crosshatching, gridding, 1-point and 2-point perspective, portraits and proportions, and animation. In this course, you will be required to use e-mail, participate in discussions, take quizzes, and submit work electronically or via "snail" mail. Please see the assignments timeline for this class.

This is a self-paced course. You may enroll in this course at any time during the year. You have 10 months from the date you start the course to finish, unless your face-to-face school restricts you to a shorter time. There is 90 hours' worth of content in this course, equivalent to one 18-week semester. The timeline is laid out for your and your advisor's convenience. It's very important that you try to stick to the timeline so that you're not overloaded with projects at the end of the course. This course is worth 0.5 credits.
