Course Description

Summary

This course is about how an image might represent a codified or systematic way of thinking. We will study the differences between one-point perspective, parallel projection, non-perspectival representation, and the problem of depth in these representational modes. Weekly drawing exercises will be paired with readings to elaborate on various 'rules' for creating space in a picture. Students may work digitally, or on graph paper to explore the characteristics of drawings that create spatial illusions. After a series of directed drawing assignments, students will work individually to further explore, untangle, or build on the drawing methods studied in the course.
