Student Work
Traditional student work from Drawing I, Drawing II, Design I, Design II, and Art Appreciation courses.
Drawing I
This foundations course prepares students for exploration in a variety of dry and wet drawing mediums, terminology, and sketchbook recording.
Drawing II
This foundations course prepares students for exploration in self-identity as an artist, dry mediums including pastels, and introduction to color mixing.
Design I
This foundations course prepares students for exploration in design elements and principles of art by pushing the boundaries of abstraction and use of a variety of mediums and mark-making.
This process creates an incidental line. You will not have control of the resulting line. The action
you choose to use controls the line. The line you are creating is the result of an action not the
normal purposeful line that you might create in a representational drawing. The lines created will
be non-objective. Representational art mimics the 3D world, whereas abstract art shows the 3D
world as a point of departure that the artist alters for aesthetic or content purposes. Nonobjective
work doesn’t relate to anything outside of itself. Please confuse this with having no meaning. Non-objective imagery is conceptual and can be very emotionally powerful.

Art Appreciation
This introductory course for art and non-art majors is designed to educate students in art terminology and history. Students were encouraged to complete a practical drawing using the hatching and crosshatching techniques.
This practical drawing assignment was made to be accessible and inclusive for all levels of drawing learners. Students were given step-by-step instruction of each step by providing examples from creation to completion of the project.
Students were encouraged to express their creativity through photography methods of organizing their compositions. In-progress critique and feedback were also given prior to the final step of the project. Successful exemplification was the incorporation of the hatching and crosshatching drawing method.
