High standard of personal literacy and basic computer literacy.

Assignments(s); Practical work.

The basic premise of VISA1401 is that drawing is the foundation for all visual disciplines.

This topic comprises two components:

1. The drawing component will be based on tonal drawing which will cover human proportion, contrapposto, foreshortening and a study of masters' drawings.

2. The design component will cover basic linear perspective including parallel perspective, angular perspective, sundivision, shadows and reflections, the three dimensions of colour, colour mixing and composition.

Through drawing and other relevant art and design theory the aims are for students to:

• develop skill in tonal drawing

• practise a way of searching by drawing

• develop an awareness of some of the problems associated with the structure of the basic elements of line, colour, value and two dimensional form and space

On completion of this topic students will demonstrate:

• their powers of observation

• their ability to see and interpret images and visual forms with integrity and inventivity

• a critical approach to viewing art and art concepts
