Students experiment with the media and techniques used to create a variety of two-dimensional (2-D) artworks through the development of skills in drawing.  Students practice, sketch, and manipulate the structural elements of art to improve mark making and/or the organizational principles of design in a composition from observation, research, and/or imagination.  Through the critique process, students evaluate and respond to their own work and that of their peers.  This course incorporates hands-on activities and consumption of art materials.
