Emphasis will be placed on rhythm and line of action, design, character, and narrative. Prerequisite: FOUN 101 Beginning Drawing FOUN 1711 Gesture Drawingīuilding on the foundational skills gained in FOUN 105 Introduction to Figure Drawing, this course will focus on a more gestural and individual approach to drawing the figure. Through in-class study and outside sketchbook practice, additional emphasis is placed on developing the ability to visualize and adapt the human form for use in their design and related disciplines. FOUN 105 Introduction to Figure Drawingīuilding on the observational drawing skills and methods gained in FOUN 101 Beginning Drawing, students in this course gain a practical understanding of the rhythms, proportions, movement, character, and anatomical structure of the human form.
INDUSTRY STANDARD STORYBOARD PROGRAM PROFESSIONAL
Examples of historical and professional art and design are presented so that students may recognize their influence on contemporary design and to relate their own design efforts to a larger cultural context. Emphasis is placed on developing creative design concepts, gaining practical problem-solving skills, and communicating project solutions visually and verbally. Studio exercises using various media explore concepts of balance, harmony, repetition, rhythm, scale, and time in two, three, and four-dimensional organizations. Formal visual properties of line, shape, form, pattern, value, texture, and sequence are studied in their relationship to content and compositional organizing systems.
This course introduces students to the elements and principles of design and to the processes of design thinking. Drawing and composition are also studied as an opportunity to express conceptual content in individual design processes. Through in-class projects and outside sketchbook practice, students study line, shape, form, proportion, perspective, and tone with an emphasis on spatial relationships and the effects of light on form. Various media and methods are introduced to develop perceptual and technical drawing skills. This is a fundamental course in freehand observational drawing.
