Transfers ToCSUDescriptionLandscape Drawing And Painting - Reflections Of Nature A focus on the outdoors as subject matter using frequent field trips and class exercises to introduce and expand the student's awareness and observational skills of the environment, in the tradition of Natural History as well as plein air (outdoor) art making. The student will reflect and translate these experiences into graphic terms using various media while considering line, shape, mass, space, texture, light, color and shadow. The student will focus on composition and content while developing a personal understanding of the environment. Keeping a written and visual journal will also be a component of this class. This course will examine the interrelationships of humans and their surroundings, and the esthetics choices available with which to communicate our responses. This class will consist of regular field trips during class meetings as well as some weekend outings. Films, special lectures, various projects and assignments as well as consideration for weather conditions will make up the remaining time in the studio.
