Quince Orchard ART DEPARTMENT
Drawing and Design

Drawing and Design A - 1/2 credit
The creation of the illusion of form and space through the sensitive use of line and value, using a variety of drawing media, is emphasized. The structure of forms is analyzed, and drawing in perspective is studied. Two-dimensional design problems consider the use of positive-negative elements, value, and color. Historically significant drawings and designs are discussed.

Drawing and Design B -1/2 credit
Sketching, drawing, and illustration are explored through exercises and a study of published examples. The works of outstanding artists are studied as a basis for developing one's drawing style. Abstract three-dimensional design exercises are followed by a design problem that is solved through a series of sketches and the construction A a prototype or model.
