Drawing: Process and Synthesis/ Art 118


Course Summary

Drawing: Process and Synthesis is part of the Foundations in Art sequence at Ohio University. The purpose of this course is to explore drawing from methodological, conceptual, and metaphorical perspectives. A series of critiques, group discussions, research and information gathering assignments, lectures and demonstrations complement studio work.
You will use analysis and research to facilitate a problem solving approach to drawing. During the course you should become increasingly self-directed. The ability to articulate intent, expand and incorporate vocabulary, converse and synthesize will be stressed. You will make artworks based upon conceptual, imagistic, and process based systems.
Experimentation will be emphasized, including exercises in scale, collaboration, non-traditional materials, mark making and technique. You will be given specific assignments with broad parameters for interpretation, begin to realize “content” in art and develop a personal visual language.
