Light, space, composition, and design in contemporary figuration. Emphasis is placed on the invention of space/depth in a drawing, the use of light to create the illusion of form and space, and the integration and anchoring of the figure and its surroundings in a well- designed composition. Students continue to develop visual literacy and critical analysis skills as well as explore various modes of perception, uses of light, compositional/design structures, and representation.

Advanced drawing exploration and correlation of previous drawing experiences that manifest in a 2d or 3d approach. Emphasis is placed on conceptual investigation, expression, and interpretation. Students develop their personal vision, creative process, and independent, cross-disciplinary studio practice within the context of art history and contemporary art.
