| Making Marks: Introduction to Drawing is designed to improve your powers of perception, expose you to a wide range of techniques and methods of drawing, and to help you find your personal voice in the medium. We will investigate a variety of possibilities and problems in drawing through the exploration of a wide range of processes, materials, and techniques. Issues of mark-making, process, control, and accident will be emphasized. We will experiment with the expressive potential of line, tone, and mood to explore a variety of graphic techniques. A goal of this intensive will be for you to develop foundational skills as well as personal styles in drawing. We also will investigate line, shape, shading, value, scale, structure, space, composition, and perspective while working from still lives, interiors, landscapes, and objects from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's collection. |
