[Learning Outcomes 1, 2]

This module will introduce you to a wide range of approaches to drawing including analytical, expressive, observational, mark-making, perspective, scale, composition and life drawing. It will examine drawing as a fundamental concept, both as a research tool and as an expressive means in its own right. It will provide an opportunity to explore the relevance of drawing to other art practices, to investigate and experience a range of drawing methods and media, extend your skills in observation, analysis and expression and allow you to develop an individual approach to drawing. You will be introduced to the notion of locating the drawing process and drawn imagery within an historical and contemporary fine art context.
