The Concepts in Practice course approaches ideas and thinking through drawing. In considering new media, the drawing sessions explore mark making, aesthetics, text and image, responses and observation of visual and audio objects, the human model and spatial / physical environments. The course introduces students to the concept of performance through developing drawing to live action production, narrative into visual text and storyboarding.
