Interdisciplinary Drawing
Description
This is a practical interdisciplinary module exploring historic and contemporary drawing in the context of 'The Artist's Note-Book', 'Drawing and New Technology', 'Drawing and the Life-Model' and 'Drawing as Movement in Space'. The fundamentals of observation and visual enquiry will be developed over specific six week blocks designed to concentrate on how drawing can become a research tool for the development of visual methodologies, experimentation, the interface between new and traditional technologies and a link between thought, movement and mark-making in two and three-dimensional space. The formal elements of drawing and observational skills will be developed through a variety of methods and media. The learner will be equipped with a knowledge and understanding of perceptual drawing skills, exploring observation and process using tools ranging from the familiar to the experimental as they relate to drawing within contemporary art practice.
