Drawing

Drawing is regarded as an essential pre-requisite to the development of many visual arts activities for visualising, exploring, interpreting and communicating ideas. It is taught both as a research tool for artists and as an expressive medium in itself.

Students attend weekly classes and learn a range of skills, centred around two areas of study: the figure and project drawing. Figure drawing involves traditional observational skills, or rendering, and encourages mind-eye co-ordination. Project drawing develops conceptual and experimental approaches and may occur in two or three dimensions, time based media and/or sound. Students work towards thematically organised folios and are encouraged to link their drawing with their studio practice and theory classes.
