VIS2520 Journaling and Drawing
SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND ARTS
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

This unit asks – what is a journal and what is its relationship to drawing? How have artists, scientists and writers used the journal as a tool for researching, recording, drawing, writing, and discovery? A history of drawing and journals considers this intimate space as a springboard for the realisation of ideas. It can be seen as a portable exhibition, which embodies knowledge, perception, and observation. The emphasis will be on small scale, often rapid and spontaneous drawing. This unit encourages and aids students in developing a diverse vocabulary of visual thinking and to acknowledge fragmentary responses. Collaborative dialogues will be addressed through a correspondence project. A variety of media will be introduced to actively think through drawing in close relationship with the journal.
