In this course, we present line, space, and shape through elemental drawing techniques such as contour and gesture drawing. Exercises introduce the relationships between mark making and seeing. Each meeting is interactive, students draw together, discuss their individual processes, and share their drawings. Additionally, a guest artist, when available, discusses and shares their drawing practices in a virtual studio visit.
