In Foundations II drawing is approached not just as a design skill but also as a method for students to investigate and interpret the world around them. This class balances an emphasis on teaching traditional drawing skills while cultivating a degree of risk taking. Over the course of the semester students are led through a series of assignments. The assignments are formatted to develop and evaluate competencies in the following five areas: line, perspective, form and shape, light and value, and expanded drawing.
