Experimental Drawing 2: Beyond Observation builds on the foundations of Experimental Drawing 1 and is designed for students who want to expand their drawing practice beyond representation. This course supports students as they develop an independent drawing practice or an emerging body of work.

Through structured prompts, material investigations, collaborative exercises, and discussions of contemporary artists, students will explore drawing as a conceptual, spatial, and process-based medium. The class emphasizes risk-taking, experimentation, abstraction, memory, chance, and the development of an individual visual language.

Throughout the course, students will:

• Build on foundational drawing skills

• Explore abstraction, memory, mapping, and chance operations

• Experiment with unconventional materials and expanded drawing

• Develop a personal visual language

• Receive individualized feedback and participate in group discussion
