Module 1 - Objectives and overview Objectives • Introduction to basic drawing techniques and fundamentals - line, shape, tone, space composition, scale, mark-making, media • Explore preconceptions • Learn to draw what you “see” not what you “know” • Develop perception and hand to eye coordination skills • Perceive entire object in relation to the drawing surface. • Begin to reflect on process and works created Overview: Description of ‘symbol making’ vs ‘drawing’ - right and left side of the brain ‘modes’ (betty edwards, p. 81) The goal of the exercises in the first module will be to get you to shift your way of seeing so that your capacity to observe and record will be brought to the forefront, and to enable you to recognize and put to use this shift. The emphasis will be on observation, not accurate reproduction.
