Credit: 3 hours.

An advanced studio course that considers a variety of activities defined traditionally, historically and contemporarily as drawing. Students will investigate the questions of what drawing is and how it communicates meaning. They will use and experiment with a wide variety of materials and concepts as they work on in-class projects and outside assignments, investigate the work of contemporary artists to see how the practice of drawing is being redefined, and consider the influence drawing has had on design and visual culture. Students will be encouraged to experiment, innovate, and develop new visual vocabularies.

Additional fees may apply. See Class Schedule. 3 undergraduate hours. 3 graduate hours. May be repeated to a maximum of 6 hours. Prerequisite: Two prior courses in drawing; junior standing.

Section Info:
Topic: Monsters. The freakish, horrible, deformed, mysterious, odd, atrocious, grotesque, mutant, bizarre, demonic, alien, anomalous, aberrant and monstrous, by turns terrifying, sympathetic, or even cute, populate our art, literature, film, and propaganda. They haunt our consciousness and telegraph our collective anxieties, with consequential psychological, social and political effects. Starting with an examination of a variety of monsters in visual culture and proceeding into an investigation of theories and discourses surrounding the cultural production of monsters, this studio/seminar hybrid will engage students in both critical inquiry and studio production on the topic of the monstrous. Building on basic drawing materials, methods and skills, students will experiment and refine personal, artistic expression in multiple drawing media while producing their own versions of the monstrous.
