ARC VIS COM SPAIN A DRAWING AS PRACTICE
Faculty: Candid Rogers
Many artists, writers and designers absorb the world through ‘notes’ whether image or text, that are made from their experiences.
This course will make a practice of drawing – a series of repetitive explorations examining the cultural landscape of Barcelona Spain moving across scales, materials and time to study through note, sketch, drawing and image with the intention of exposing the dynamic between man and the environment.
A range of hand drawing techniques will be explored extensively to enable an active dialogue of the context of the urban fabric of Barcelona.
The semester will be divided into 3 parts, each containing a series of drawing exercises,
With a concluding exercise of one drawing or series of multiple drawings which serve as a translation of the semesters experiences. This will consist of a digital translation of the semesters notes, sketches, drawings, ideas.
The course will focus on line, space, form and color. A variety of tools will be explored including: perspective, sections, landscape, figure/ground, tonal studies, color, etc.
Media: graphite, ink, ink wash, watercolor, pencil, digital etc.
Set one: Delineations (class exercises)
