BA Studio Art

Through endowments established in 1962, artists have resided at Dartmouth throughout the year. These professionals are actively involved in the making of their art on campus. They lecture on their work in and outside of the classroom and respond to student work on an individual and group basis. In this introductory course, major and non-major students will explore the issues of mark, line, scale, space, light and composition. Students will develop a critical facility to discuss the work presented in class. Although the majority of work will be from the observed form, such as still life and the human figure, non-observational drawing will also be emphasized. Various kinds of media, including charcoal, ink and pencil will be used.
