In this course, students will develop individual and independent art projects based on field studies to exhibitions and museum collections. This course involves basic drawing and art making skills in a variety of media. Processes used include visual note taking, watercolor, printmaking and collage. Some of these techniques will be demonstrated by artists in specific workshops. Through drawing exercises, supplemented by lectures, readings and presentations, an understanding of aesthetic values and development of technical skills is achieved. Emphasis is placed on individualized creative experimentation with concepts and techniques introduced in this class.

2 Objectives: Develop a deeper understanding of artistic techniques, content and contexts; Practice critical discourse through studio work sessions and field studies; Obtain the ability to work with a number of artistic materials and techniques; Enable students to visually manifest their ideas; Produce and present a larger individual art project.
