ARTS 128 - Drawing: Sense of Place


The focus of this course will be on the development of rendering and compositional skills observed from landscape and interiors.Student landscapes will be limited only by the range of their feet and imaginations.There is much to draw within a short walk of campus, including a range of different kinds of Worcester neighborhoods and parks.Outdoor work and walking are a required component of the course and should be considered before enrolling.The course will also focus on invented worlds, building maquettes to draw from, and interiors observed and staged or created.Weekly slide lectures will place assignments in historical and contemporary context.Discussion, critique, readings, studio and homework assignments are all integral to the development of a rich and varied drawing practice. Artists who have reference or manipulated “place” in their work will also be studied.
