An intensive studio course for juniors and seniors, considering the visual, conceptual, and spatial issues driving contemporary drawing practices. This course explores the act of drawing as a speculative and critical thinking process as well as a visual language. Class work addresses various observational and technical methods as well as reciprocities between sound, drawing, and time, and/or drawing and materiality. In-depth studio critiques, field trips, and interaction with visiting artists and musicians augment the projects. Following a period of intense studio exploration and dialogue, each student develops and hones an independent, cohesive body of work.
