This is an experimental drawing course, utilizing the figure, providing further concentration on basic drawing concepts. Emphasis is placed on descriptive and perceptual drawing, using both wet and dry media, and color. Students learn basic anatomy and will begin to develop an understanding of the way a figure inhabits space; thus able to successfully reproduce this space in two dimensions and later developing a personal style within the confines of academic figurative art.

Abstract Art ( sager )
Pamela Harris 2012 22 inch X 22 inch
This artist used pastel, charcoal on paper.
I like the colors used. I see this as narrative. The placing of different colored marks, over and over, remind me of a tornado, which doesn't agree with the long and drawn out artist statement. I would like to see this artists drawings of structured pieces.
Paul Lorenz 2010 12" X 16" X 2"
This artist used graphite and oil on panel
I do not see narrative is this piece, to me it looks like a piece of paper that had been waded in a ball for a long time and then flattened. This artist statement is very interesting. ( Abstraction is not a style, but a state of mind...a way of thinking about action, time and circumstance, confidence, and risk taking, boldness and subtlety, solid and void. ) With this thought, I would not change a thing on this image.
Pasquale Cortese 2013 9" X 12"
This artist used pen and ink on paper
I do not agree with the artist statement as grace and energy. I would not would not like this piece hanging on my wall, for it gives me negative feelings. I do not see this image as narrative. Worm colors would make a difference on how I would view his work.
