This course is designed to enable students with a particular interest in the natural world to devote an extended and concentrated time in the field to researching a remote location through drawing. By direct encounter and observations, students will deal with the natural world as a source of ideas and inspiration particularly relevant to the thrust of their major studies in drawing and painting. Students will be encouraged to seek out, identify and document new material that they can gather in the field that they feel will be most relevant to their developing work in the studio.
