The Materiality of Color: Drawing with Pigments — DRW4204.01

Instructor: Beverly Acha
Days & Time: MO 1:40pm-5:20pm
Credits: 2

This course is a hands-on color laboratory where students will explore the tactile, material, and physical characteristics of pigments. Working with both earth and synthetic colors, we’ll grind, mix, and transform pure pigments into drawing materials including watercolor paints and chalk pastels. If time allows, we will also make inks. Outside of class, students will complete a short research project/presentation, and create a self-directed body of drawings using the materials created in class.
