An introduction to basic drawing concepts and media. Six hours of studio work.

This is a studio course designed to introduce to the student various methods and materials traditionally used in drawing. Emphasis is placed on the learning of correct observation and on the translation of that observation accurately on to a flat surface by means of the non-verbal language of line and value (lightness and darkness). Because correct observation requires so much contact with actual objects, we will address a rich variety of actual objects and environments for utilization in your drawings. Each drawing session is followed by a brief group critique.

Certain drawing exercises will be completed in the tradition of the Impressionists, “en plein air,” taking the landscape of the region as the subject. Students will create representations of the organic and geometric qualities of the landscape and structures upon it through the medium of drawing, with attention to line, value, space, and texture. Students will also complete master studies from artworks located in the Ferdinandeum or Salzburg Museum of Modern Art.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.

Die Anrechnung der Kurse der UNO-IBK International Summer School muss von den Studierenden selbst vorab mit den zuständigen StudiendekanInnen geklärt werden. Diese allein entscheiden über die Anerkennung der belegten Kurse für das jeweilige Studienfach. Es wird empfohlen, sich einen Vorabbescheid über die Anerkennung der Kurse ausstellen zu lassen.
