The schedule for this course has been planned to give you plenty of time to orient to this type of study. Drawing is a rigorous form of creative research that has a lexicon of its own. It is an extremely flexible form, and students are offered great latitude in the application of thier learning in the final project. Please take note of the flow of the course so that you can understand the expectations in line with the calendar.
