Course Catalog Description:
Possibilities of digital technology as tool/component in contemporary, creative drawing practice. prereq: 1001, 1101 or 2101
Class Description:
This course explores methods in solving conceptual problems using digital drawing as an essential tool. Students will explore the relationship of the contemporary drawing world and the ever advancing technologies in rendering and recording. For each topic introduced there will be a conceptual problem for students to solve. Students will be expected to create a project using digital drawing to react to this conceptual prompt, and will use an expanded definition of drawing to realize their work. Digital drawing is a means of expression, of exploring the methods of marks made on a surface or virtual surface, and the materiality and the process of those marks. Drawing is also a manner in which to explore conceptual development and critical thinking. In this introductory drawing course students will explore the realm of possibilities of digital technology as an essential component in a contemporary drawing practice. Elements such as line, value, texture, shape and space are explored in works using digital technology. Students will learn the basics of drawing using Wacom Bamboo and Cintiq tablets, and Adobe software applications.Working in mixed media is highly encouraged, and the symbiotic relationship of hand-made/rendered to digital is emphasized. Individual and group critiques will help students to address technical concerns and contextualize their work within the rich history of drawing. Studio work outside of scheduled class time is expected.
