DRAW 100 Drawing I
This studio course introduces students to basic drawing skills and techniques through traditional approaches to line, form, composition, perspective and chiaroscuro. The three primary goals are to learn to judge proportion, create volume and depict the illusion of space. Students are expected to translate what they see through visual language and to analyze and articulate ideas about their own work and the work of others.

DRAW 101 Drawing II
This course continues to develop drawing skills from Drawing I. Through traditional subject matter, students explore a range of drawing materials and techniques. Composition and rendering skills are emphasized, various wet and dry media are used, and color is introduced. Prerequisite: DRAW 100.

DRAW 102 Drawing III
This is the third in a series of drawing courses required for several majors. The goals of this course are to build skill with a variety of color media, explore more advanced problems with emphasis on creative interpretation, and guide students to develop ideas and explore methods for personal expression. Students produce projects of a longer range and more personal nature than in previous drawing courses. The relationship between media and technique is emphasized to demonstrate content. Class time is spent developing ideas, introducing materials, discussing concepts and evaluating completed work. Class exercises and research are frequently performed as preparation for projects completed outside class. Prerequisites: DRAW 101, DSGN 101.

DRAW 106 Drawing for Storyboarding
Students explore the fundamentals of perspective, composition and staging to effectively communicate ideas, images, graphics, effects and stories through storyboards. Prerequisite: DRAW 100.

DRAW 111 Architectural Drawing
This series of studio exercises is intended to teach the principles of architectural representation and develop visual literacy by enhancing students' perceptive skills. Students should acquire an ability to communicate simple ideas graphically by transforming visual information into a 2-D image. Emphasis is given to the techniques of mechanical and freehand drawing, the conventions of architectural drawing and perspective, and the study of descriptive geometry.

DRAW 112 Architectural Graphics
This studio course approaches drawing as a tool for thinking as well as for representation. The course closely examines the language of architectural form and covers a wide range of techniques for analyzing and representing it, including freehand sketching and different means of rendering. Prerequisite: DRAW 111.

DRAW 200 Life Drawing I
This studio course aims to develop students' ability to render figures and to refine drawing skills and techniques. Working primarily from dry media, students use line and tone to develop an understanding of proportions, structure and anatomy of the figure. Prerequisite: DRAW 101 or DRAW 106.

DRAW 201 Life Drawing II
This studio course is designed to further develop the visual, verbal and technical skills necessary to represent the figure. Students work in a variety of media, with an emphasis on color. The course focuses on using the figure as an element in composition and reinforces the skills used in Life Drawing I. Students are expected to develop the ability to draw the figure perceptually, expressively and with an awareness of some of the conceptual issues associated with the figure. Prerequisite: DRAW 200.

DRAW 209 Medical Illustration
This drawing course emphasizes observation and drawing techniques that enable students to translate complex subject matter and ideas into clear, accurate, and aesthetic works of art that also serve the purpose of medical illustration. The course also focuses on problem solving and storytelling skills to communicate medical information. Prerequisite: DSGN 101, DRAW 200.

DRAW 210 Portrait Drawing
In this course, students learn to draw the human head and discover the art of portraiture. Students further develop drawing skills, techniques and traditional approaches to portrait drawing. Prerequisite: DRAW 101.

DRAW 215 Animal Anatomy and Motion
Building on observational life drawing skills and drawing-in-motion techniques, this course provides advanced analysis of animal anatomy and movement for animation. Emphasis is on mammals and birds but the class will also cover other vertebrates and invertebrates such as reptiles, fish, insects and crustaceans. Students will draw from specimens in class as well as on location in field tips to create sketchbook images, culminating in production of a short animated sequence. Prerequisites: DRAW 100, DRAW 101.

DRAW 220 Special Topics in Drawing
The topic of this course varies from quarter to quarter. Each seminar focuses on various problems or themes in the drawing field and allows students an opportunity to pursue individual research projects related to the subject of the course. Prerequisites: Vary according to topic.

DRAW 223 Perspective
This studio course emphasizes the skills and methods that enable students to construct drawings according to the basic laws of linear perspective. Students use one-, two- and three-point and isometric perspective to create scenes with convincing depth of field and proportion. Prerequisite: DRAW 101.

DRAW 230 Drawing for Design
This course introduces students to methods of drawing that can become bridges to the creation of product designs on the computer. Students become familiar with basic geometric forms and how they can be sectioned and reassembled. Units of study focus on specific forms ranging from the cube to the cylinder, cone and sphere. Students design a series of objects based on the forms studied, utilizing more complex skills as their knowledge and experience build. Prerequisite: DRAW 100.

DRAW 300 Advanced Drawing and Painting
This course synthesizes the hands-on creative component of drawing and painting used in the classical world with the intellectual exploration of that world from a historical perspective. Students have the unique opportunity to create art on location at historically significant and visually stimulating sites. With a major concentration on architecture, landscapes, and architectural and local details. Prerequisite: DRAW 100. This course may serve as a substitute for DRAW 101, DRAW 102 or DRAW 201.

DRAW 302 Alternative Drawing Methods
In this course, students explore drawing within a contemporary art context. Using various techniques and media, students explore diverse and alternative facets of drawing. Exercises in alternative media and nontraditional approaches form the basis for project assignments. Critiques and discussions focused on media exploration encourage students to think in new ways about making art. Prerequisite: DRAW 102 or DRAW 200.

DRAW 310 Landscape Drawing
This advanced study in landscape drawing explores both traditional and contemporary approaches using a variety of drawing media. Color media are also studied and applied. The course explores the artistic possibilities of different types of landscape subjects, including urban landscapes, natural landscapes, seascapes, trees, foliage and the figure in the landscape. Prerequisite: DRAW 200.

DRAW 312 Color Drawing
This course concentrates on mastering technical skills, as students experiment with various wet and dry color drawing media such as crayons, watercolors, colored pencils, pastels, pastel pencils and colored markers. A strong emphasis is placed on the formal aspects of value analysis and the practice of building color gradually. Prerequisites: DSGN 101, DRAW 200.

DRAW 341 Travel Portfolio
To draw a place is to know a place. In this course, students develop studies of urban contexts, structures, architectural and sculptural elements, interiors, period furniture and work from historical drawings. A personal focus within the breadth of the portfolio establishes primary motifs, processes and materials. The portfolio is accompanied by related writings and collected materials. Inventive approaches are encouraged. Prerequisites: DRAW 100, DSGN 100, DSGN 101.

DRAW 342 Interpretive Approaches to the Figure
This advanced life drawing course is designed for students with a particular interest in the figure as an element in their work.

The course emphasizes the ability to work conceptually, using experimentation with idioms to promote understanding of creative and critical issues in art. Prerequisite: DRAW 201.

DRAW 350 Classical Rendering
This course trains students in classical rendering techniques. There is a strong emphasis on fully rendered observational drawing (still life and figure) in the classical tradition. Students further develop technical skill acquired in prerequisite classes and attain fluency in the handling of color as well as black and white, wet and dry media through exercises, demonstrations, assignments, and critiques. Prerequisites: DRAW 101, DSGN 101.
