COURSE DESCRIPTION
	Drawing is a form of communication, which can allow us to express ourselves when words will not suffice. This simple art form affords us the opportunity to express our emotions in a safe and pleasurable manner. Many people for example find that the simple exercise of drawing negative emotions which are then ceremoniously torn to shreds or burnt away - is a useful, safe way to deal with them. The exercise allows the artist to move on to a more relaxed and harmonious and peaceful happiness state. Maps, symbols, colors, expressions and many other elements of design convey meaning and help us to construct a world of illusion. They help us re-present our reality. This can be useful, informative, recreational and healing.
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES After completing this course students should be able to:
	§ Know the basic elements of drawing, including line, value, form, space, texture, and color; § Express their ideas in a wide variety of drawing techniques and media § Experience in discussing one's own work and the work of others through art critiques. § Become comfortable recording and expressing information visually.
