ART06093 2019 Drawing 2 (Foundation in Drawing Mediums)

Have begun to developed an awareness of drawing skills, sensitivity to materials and understanding of drawing vocabulary and processes.

Have acquired a range of drawing skills that address observational, analytical, creative and imaginative processes and concerns within the drawing projects.

Have demonstrated an independence and resourceful ability to record, assemble, visually articulate images and ideas in context with historical and contemporary art and artist practices in sketch/drawing books and visual research journals.

Have acquired a good standard of studio practice and participated in individual and group tutorials.

A range of teaching and learning strategies are engaged, ranging from individual and group tutorials to practical demonstrations of materials and techniques within the studio/drawing room. Illustrated talks on artists and arts practices along with a visiting artist programme provide an opportunity for deeper understanding. Field trips to museums and galleries at home and abroad add to knowledge depth.

Practical work will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and there will be a formal mid semester review. Assessment will take place at the end of the semester. At this point each of the learning outcomes are considered in relation to the art works presented and in relation to the supporting portfolio (which should include support studies, accompanying documentation, visual journals and texts where appropriate).

Students will be given repeat project briefs which will be issued at the end of the academic stage and submitted in the autumn.
