Course Description
Summary
Shying away from the static, resolved, or finished image, this course will explore drawing as a process of ongoing inquiry. It is intended to foster an experimental and experiential approach to making art, generally eschewing representation. Students will engage with various techniques and processes to make drawings that document experience as well as create an image. Topics to be considered include: artistic intent, ambition, happenings, failure, and chance. Class time is used for drawing, technical demonstrations, discussion and critique. Relevant artists include: Marcel Duchamp, Josef Albers, Robert Rauschenberg, John Cage, Claes Oldenburg, Allan Kaprow, Yvonne Rainer and Lee Lozano. Prerequisite: a positive attitude and an open mind.
