Studio Art I
Studio Art I: Drawing We will cover various approaches and experimentation with mark making and materials. Dry and wet media will be used as well as basic sculptural techniques to get a better understanding of the volumetric qualities of depicting space and figures. Students will learn how to render composition, scale, negative/positive space, contour lines, tonal values, line quality, and personal style. Class includes individual and group critiques, and when possible, field trips. Topics relating to representation such as who gets represented and how, will be discussed. Readings and short lectures will inform these discussions and there will be short writing assignments that will allow further exploration. No prior drawing experience is expected.

Before reading this know I am not an art person. This was the biggest waste of my time and as a freshman thinking this would be a good option for my distribution requirement i wish i looked into other classes. The prof won’t teach you how to draw she just wants you to know it. It can be relaxing but most of the three house are very boring. don’t recommend unless you like drawing with pencils and sometimes charcoal.

First of all, I am an art person so consider that in my review. The subject matter of Professor Klein's class was not difficult, and the expectations were fairly lax. That being said, class is defined by her extremely long instruction she gives before you even start doing art. It got so bad that she would talk for a minimum of 40 minutes about the day's project before we would draw. This wouldn't be an issue if it were good information she was giving, but often, it was repetitive and unnecessary. On the other hand, as someone who enjoys art, her teaching style is far from combative, and if you're able to put up with fairly tedious lectures, it is a comfortable environment to do art in.
