description
Drawing is the oldest and most immediate form of visual expression. This course will offer an intense exploration of the most fundamental issues found at the core of drawing practice. Students will receive a thorough instruction in the technical aspects of media, tools, and papers. Learning to “see with understanding”, will help develop the ability to read shape and value patterns correctly. An investigation of the drawing process and its priorities will be coupled with an exploration of formal concepts relevant to drawing such as composition, the relationship between the 3-D and 2-D space, gesture, and mark-making. Building upon the strong relationship that exists between drawing and printmaking, this course will offer a user-friendly introduction to printmaking techniques of intaglio and monotype. Together, drawing experience combined with the elements of printmaking, will give each student a rich and multileveled exposure to the art of drawing.

MAJORS Drawing & Printmaking
MIAD Pre-College, Summer 2010
THE END?! NO... IT'S YOUR BEGINNING!
This summer"s Pre-College MAJORS Program provided many opportunities for you to grow as
an individual and as an artist. The final exhibition exemplified the tremendous creative talent
practically bursting through the “MIAD Roof,” and you were an important part of what took
place here!
We hope this “Memory Book” captures some of your summer experience at MIAD -- the many
challenges but, ultimately, the triumphs that come from complete immersion in an intensive
studio experience. You worked hard, made new friends and explored different ways of
looking at the world.
Remaining involved and active in the artistic community is one of the most creatively
compelling things you can do! Please stay in touch with us -- whether through the Pre-
College Facebook page, e-mailing us or taking more classes during the fall and spring
semesters. Let us know what you are working on, and how we may continue to help you as
you further develop your talent and skills. Remember ... this is just your beginning!
Sincerely,
Jill Kunsmann (Program Director)!!! !!! Kari McIntyre (Program Manager)
MIAD"s summer Pre-College program is experiential. It"s a taste of what being a MIAD student is like; everything that surrounds you breathes, eats, and sleeps creativity. Hold onto this experience. For some of you it marks the beginning of a new path, and for others it confirms that this is what you will do for the rest of your life.
The MIAD Admissions team was excited to work with so many of you this summer, discussing your work and visiting your classrooms. While summer Pre-College has concluded, this is truly just the beginning. Our hope is that you"ll remain in contact with us as your portfolio progresses. Share your ideas with us. Ask questions. Visit campus again. Discover what an art and design education can do for you. Remember, MIAD Pre-College is only the beginning.
