Denotation/Connotation
At its core, drawing provides a foundation for advancing visual and critical thinking across a range of media and conceptual strategies. In beginning courses students learn to deconstruct three-dimensional space using measuring techniques, spatial awareness, constructive drawing methods, and by learning to recognize subtle nuances between value relationships. Students are then encouraged to develop their own creative interests, aesthetic and thematic directions, while gaining an awareness of art historical and contemporary directions within the discipline.
