Expressive Drawing: An Exploration of Materials and Approaches

NC1027-01

This course will take an academic and experimental approach to drawing. We’ll explore the character of various media such as charcoal, graphite, pen and ink-wash. Color will be used for its expressive nature, allowing us to engage the potential of chalk/oil pastels, markers, colored pencils, and a combination of media. We’ll work from observation in efforts to increase technical skills and theme-based approaches that depart from representation to develop ideas. Projects are process-oriented and may manifest as a small-scale series or one complete piece. They are designed to be accomplished in one session so that something is gained from each meeting.

*A small sketchbook and set of pencils will be needed. Recommended: mixed media sketchbook (Canson XL, 9×12 or larger, 98lb or more) or any other brand of paper as long as it’s heavy and can take wet and dry media.
