Drawing is a fundamental activity for all artists and designers. Intended for those with some drawing experience who wish to consider developing more complex images, this course guides and encourages students in exploring various approaches, materials, techniques and scale to develop a personal language. Supported and guided by the tutor and carrying out work in their own time students will gather a range of research material based on various themes, such as drawings and photographs, forming the basis of a working sketchbook and studies, providing a foundation to develop more considered ideas in the studio.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, through attending classes and engaging in directed and independent study, students should be able to:

RESEARCH
- show an understanding of the use of the sketchbook to collect and process text and visual material to develop ideas, knowledge and themes, through exploring a range of primary and secondary source images supported by background research.

PRACTICE
- demonstrate knowledge of a visual drawing vocabulary through creating a range of drawings employing a range of drawing approaches and mediums to investigate various subject matters.

PRESENT
- create a coherent and considered body of resolved work support by sketchbooks and developed studies showing the beginnings of a personal language.
Assessment Information
This course will be assessed by the submission of a portfolio of visual art works within the discipline studied. This will include a selection of resolved art works, preparatory studies, visual research and evidence of a contextual awareness through a completed sketchbook and/or visual journal. The work must be presented in a clear and professional manner appropriate to the discipline. The submission should include work undertaken within the class as well as directed and independent study out with the class. Typically, this will comprise:

- Class Contact hours: 27.5 (work undertaken during the class)
- Directed hours: 27.5 (work the tutor has set students to each week in their own time)
- Independent Study Hours: 45 (work students set themselves to do, relevant to the discipline studied)

The combined submission will be assessed against the three learning outcomes for this course. These are equally weighted and each will be given a percentage grade. To pass, students must achieve a minimum of 30% in each learning outcome and an overall combined mark of 40% minimum.
