Class Drawing I

  • Presentation

    Presentation

    Introduction to drawing as an autonomous art practice: tools, media and supports, project and process. The theme is Still life and its approach is made throughout exercises to represent from direct observation:

    - Exercises to release of constraints

    - Diagrammatic Exercises

    - Exercises to explore graphic languages with different materials

    - Exercises to explore volumetric representation on a bi-dimensional level

    - Linear perspective and shadows (proper and projected).

    Personal project: sketch-book (two drawings a week)

    Syllabus

    In this CU the contents are:

    At the classroom:

    - Exercises for free expression (free expression of different graphic media,and different drawing support/surface without reference or model)

    - Diagrammatic exercises and contour drawing (draw the geometric shapes that surround the objects and add an expression of transparency)

    - Exercises of exploration of the graphic language (experimentation of drawing materials and support of inscription by drawing concrete objects in various compositions)

    - Volumetric exercises (understanding the volume and the occupation of space by objects representing the projected shadows)

    - Linear perspective, proper and projected shadows (the same exercise considering the object's surrounding space and its scale relation)

    Homework:

    Personal Project: Graphic Diary (two drawings per week on a single elected object, making the most of its graphic potential)

  • Objectives

    Objectives

    The aim of CU Drawing I is:

    - To know how to encode, through the graphic/drawing language (point, line, spot), the object(s) observed directly.

    - Apply contrast (light/dark).

    - Know how to project in depth by applying perspective and by superimposing planes.

    - Distinguish how the graphic register/drawing of illuminated and shadowed forms is made.

    - Know how to make and explore a frame taking into account the shape/background relationship.

    - Know graphic representation strategies to explore, experiment and discover graphic artistic procedures and, in this movement, to initiate a more authorial decision-making - to understand the graphic/drawing languages that are most useful for each project to be developed according to personal interests.

    - To develop the daily habit of drawing.

    - Develop a set of quality observation drawings to integrate a portfolio and the Degree exhibitions.

    - Develop a technical discourse (vocabulary) in the arts through criticism.

     

  • Teaching methodologies and assessment

    Teaching methodologies and assessment

    The classes are two hours long: in one block of 2 hours the students make drawings on specific objects (feathers, cutlery, soft toys, etc.) whose materials challenge the codified representation by drawing, namely of a mimetic order.

    In the second block of classes, the drawings focus on sets of objects (these objects mix those chosen by the students and others found in the classroom, mixing familiar and unfamiliar objects) and the framing and scale of representation are questioned. At the end of these lessons, collective critical debates are held on the drawings to practice and refine the students' vocabulary and discourse.

    A third set of drawings is made autonomously and presented in class with critical discussion. This set of drawings focuses on two objects: one organic and one inorganic. 

    Each lesson serves as a moment of evaluation reinforced by collective debate.
