1 OUTLINE INTRODUCTION TO DRAWING AND COLOUR ID N TYPE Theory HOURS PER WEEK 2 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE The transition from optical function to a different way of focusing. Reference to the balance of different materials. Practice on the precision and the simplicity of visual lexicon. Creation of a new image through different perspective successive levels of partial or total view. Quest of the Modern Art in public places of the city. The Art of everyday life. Analysis of the work of artists that decorate the metro stations of the city, the open air places with sculptures, the walls with graffiti. Search of modern aspects of art through the lexicon of visual arts of the second half of the 20 th century. References on selected international artists who have influenced arts. EXPECTIVE LEARNING OUTCOMES Interest about experimentation and the different. The selection of the space to be imprinted offers the students a experiential communication with the subject. Formulation of aesthetic and viewpoint in relation to what we should take into

2 consideration or ignore during the search of the new. Taking into account the particular features and the identity of every student in the process of decoding the visual code. 1.

3 Identification of the spectrum of materials mixture Being aware of the principles of drawing, the students transfer the threedimensional object to their cardboard by using color Application of the qualitative approach of synthesis through color Comprehension of the special characteristics of material Objective interpretation of composition The laboratorial part of the course Drawing and Color contains a sequence of exercises on the imprinting of composition of objects located in special pedestals in space in still life. Both drawing and color exhibit a parallel evolution in relation to proportional depiction and exploration of materials. It focuses on the synthesis of shapes on the basis of tension, size, complexity and rhythm so that a new piece of art is generated and displays an aesthetic interest. EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES Articulation of critical thinking on the substantial and non substantial parts of synthesis Enhancement of the student s composition ability Analysis of the chromatic potential and the special features of every drawing Familiarization with the materiality and the ability to recognize the material and render it recognizable in drawing Exploration of the color potentials through different versions 1.

5 AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE Comprehension of the transfer of three dimensional space to two dimensional one Familiarization with notions, forms shapes, volume plasticity Interpreting the composition on the basis of space levels and perspective Familiarization with qualitative color line Introduction to understanding drawing in terms of sketch Inquiry of imprinting using the fewest means Understanding the reaction while mixing and contrasting different drawing material The workshop of this course on the one hand deals with the comprehension of the importance of drawing in the act of depiction and on the other hand with the freedom to express personal ideas. A sequence of exercises is provided in order to gradually explore the well made drawing through different versions and circumstances. This course seeks to achieve the understanding of the structure of synthesis. EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES Viewing synthesis as a whole (background and theme) Introduction to the notion of simplification by selecting the important surfaces The expression of composition through clear distinction between light and dark Introduction to basic rules of synthesis 1.
