Diploma classes are scheduled from Monday to Friday, between 8am to 6pm, and have tutorials/classes of up to 24 students.
Drawing A
Drawing A initiates an intensive studio based program focusing students on observation and analysis of their visual surroundings. Within the studio environment a wide variety of studio sets are arranged to present subject matter of progressive complexity over the 12 week unit. A range of drawing strategies are introduced, to assist students to accurately describe their observations.
Observations of the human figure and still life forms also pay particular attention to describing the spatial relationships observed between these arrangements of forms. Throughout the drawing program observation and analysis skills are complemented by a gradual experimentation with a broad range of expressive mediums and techniques to further enhance student’s facility in creating an individual and creative response to the studio projects.
Drawing B Drawing B builds on the Drawing program initiated in Drawing A. Drawing B continues an intensive studio based program focusing students on observation and analysis of their visual surroundings. Within the studio environment sequential projects are explored to build up the student’s visual awareness of three dimensional forms and their surrounding environments. There is a predominant focus on observing and describing the human form (both naked and clothed) within this context. Observations of the human figure form over half of the content of this drawing program. Throughout the drawing program observation and analysis skills are complemented by extensive experimentation with a broad range of expressive mediums and techniques to further enhance student’s facility in creating an individual and creative response to the studio projects.
Drawing C Drawing C initiates the final component of the Drawing program at Monash College. It prepares students for entry to the graduate courses in Art, Design and Architecture, running parallel with the first year Drawing graduate program. Drawing C continues an intensive studio based program focusing students on observation and analysis of their visual surroundings. Within the studio environment sequential projects are explored to build up the student’s visual awareness of three dimensional forms within their surrounding spaces. The course investigates observations and interpretations of a range of everyday encountered forms; manufactured and organic. There is a predominant focus on observing and describing the human form (both naked and clothed) within this context. Throughout the drawing program observation and analysis skills are complemented by a considered experimentation with a broad range of expressive mediums and techniques to further enhance student’s facility in creating an individual and creative response to the studio projects. Conceptual sensitivities are over-laid within these explorations as students mature through their drawing exercises.
