Course Description

When does a drawing become epic? In this class, we will focus on creating an epic drawing. We will focus of structure and scale and how these elements can lead to space, and ultimately, to an epic drawing. Student will be encouraged to make courageous moves with their drawing, both subtractively and additively. Student will be encouraged to utilize collage and traditional drawing methods and to think about what is working an what is not working in their work.

The Class will be broken down into 3 stages:

1. The first 3 weeks will be focusing on line. How a line on a page can create tension.
2. The second 3 weeks will focus on shape and tone.
3. The next 3 weeks we will focus on line, shape and tone.

The last 2 weeks we will focus on really making a final epic image using all the elements that we focused on in the past nine weeks.
