ART 170 is a studio course that is based on various techniques and methods that strengthen the student’s ability to draw with confidence. Students are expected to use an array of mediums that include pencil, pen, charcoal, and pastel. Emphasis is placed on eye-hand coordination and replicating highly realistic images that help to develop their skill. A total of six hours of study is required for this 3-credit course. A final portfolio of works is required as well as participation in the annual art exhibition. (Note: 1.5 lecture credits, 1.5 studio credits)
