Drawing I is a basic drawing course for all areas of studio art.
The course deals with the perception of forms in space, the light
source and composition.  In addition, the students are introduced
to figure drawing and landscape.  The intention of the course is
to familiarize the student with the history of drawing ideas and
how artists use drawing to aid in their work.  Secondly, the
history of technique is stressed so that the student has a
comprehension of the choice of material available to him.  This
course primarily meets in the drawing room with occasional field
trips to draw on location.

Assignments, Tests, Grades:  Since this is a skill course, the
assignments generally
revolve around keeping a sketchbook and practicing drawing.
There is a portfolio to review at the end of term.  Attendance is
required.

Text/Materials:  Approximately $30-$40 a semester.

Frequency of Scheduling:  Every semester.
