Drawing
Drawing is the foundation for all the
other visual disciplines. Whether the result is straightforward observation or
abstract ideas, drawing is the first medium artists use to translate their
thought processes into visible form. If meaning is expressed through form, form
is produced through knowledge of the language of drawing. Mastery of this
knowledge starts with learning how to see, continues with realizing how the
elements of art can be turned to creative use and culminates in the capacity to
set individual problems and work through them in self-directed ways. In their
subsequent careers, successful students will always be able to rely on drawing
in order to understand the world around and within them, as well as to
communicate in ways that are often superior to verbal explanation.
