Course Description

This is an intensive course in drawing. It is designed to establish a sound foundation for articulating drawn visual imagery from both observed reality and concepts. This includes exploring fundamentals of drawing from the figure, the inanimate subject, spatial perspectives and an application of these elements in the context of ideas and process, notions of display and critical feedback.

The course is based within the genres of analytical drawing and visual field drawing and includes a self-directed drawing project that will provide participants with the opportunity to develop resolved drawings combining elements from the previous experiences of the intensive as well as other approaches to making and installing from their own area of study. Theoretical and conceptual discussion is an ongoing component of the intensive in addition to videos, reading lists, feedback forms, documentation and group discussions.


Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

In course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:

a)    Develop a critically informed arts practice, in order to continually develop, change and plan for a future that is both informed and improved by arts practice.

b)    Find creative solutions to constraints and challenges in a fine art context.


Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

1. Explore methods and materials concerning approaches to drawing including: the application of appropriate materials in a range of drawing modes and settings; proportion, form, weight, volume and structural detail; figure/ground relationships; perspective and non- perspective approaches to visual representation; use of props and backdrops; depiction and subjecthood; serial and self-developed works.

2. Develop connections between art language, terms and concepts and self-initiated creative work.

3. Document your learning journey

4. Demonstrate understanding of appropriate Occupational Health & Safety rules in the drawing studio and observe the prescribed protocols concerning working with clothed and unclothed models.


Overview of Learning Activities

This is a practical course that will introduce you to drawing. It will also require you to engage in research and participation to build your capacity in the terms and concepts of drawing and aesthetics. You will engage with a structured program and be encouraged to pursue your own creative direction in the drawing studio.


Overview of Learning Resources

RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through our online systems, including reading lists, demonstration materials, reference texts and examples of working methods. Learning resources will be distributed throughout the intensive. Please refer to Canvas shell.

There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.


Overview of Assessment

You will be assessed on how well you meet the course’s learning outcomes and on your development against the program learning outcomes.

Students must consolidate and submit online a folio of works and/or documentations in response to projects. Assessment will be conducted by a panel of Drawing staff that includes the lecturer of the Course and the Course Coordinator of the Drawing Studio. Regular attendance is required.

Assessment Tasks
Folio and Presentation of resolved works 40% CLO1, CLO2, CLO3 and CLO4
Support & Developmental materials, research journal, documentation 40% CLO1, CLO2, CLO3 and CLO4
Feedback and Reflection 20% CLO2 and CLO3

Formative feedback will be supplied during the intensive and Summative Feedback will be available on all tasks following assessment and completion of the Intemnsive.

If you have a long term medical condition and/or disability it may be possible to negotiate to vary aspects of the learning or assessment methods. You can contact the program coordinator or Equitable Learning Services if you would like to find out more.
Student Charter summarises your responsibilities as an RMIT student as well as those of your teachers.

Your course assessment conforms to RMIT assessment principles, regulations, policies, procedures and instructions.

Late submission or presentation of assessable work without an approved extension or special consideration will be penalised as follows:


• Completed work submitted 1 to 7 days late will incur a penalty of 5% per day
• Work submitted after day 7 will not be assessed
• Weekends and holiday periods are included in the calculation of the late penalty

How the penalty is calculated:
Example - Work is submitted 6 days late, incurring a penalty of 30% (6 x 5% = 30%). The submission receives a result of 60 out of 100. 60 - 30% = 42. The numerical result for that assessment submission is modified from 60 to 42. The result of 42 is used to calculate the final grade for the course.
