This course introduces students to the materials associated with charcoal drawing, as well as the working method to produce sound drawings. This entails the concepts of shape, value, and edge, as well as tools for measuring, such as sight-size, triangulation, and comparative measurement. Students first work from Bargue Plates, creating the same drawings executed in European schools of the 1800's. In the second half of the course students copy master works of inanimate objects, such as still life, building on their skill of isolated object rendering to create completed drawings integrating the subject and surrounding space.
