VISUAL ARTS MEDIA WORKSHOP B

2015
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In Visual Arts Media Workshop B, Drawing progressively develops the student's abilities of observation, perception and analysis of form. Through observation and visual perception (i.e. being able to look at an object, analyse the relationship of size, shape, value and texture), students will increase their aptitude to draw realistically. Exploration of a variety of linear and tonal techniques will assist students in being able to translate, directly from observation, three-dimensional information into marks on a two-dimensional surface. Assessment is based on the submission of a portfolio of set projects designed to develop student's conceptual and technical skills in drawing and the presentation of a Studio Research Journal/Visual Diary.
