This course examines the formal and technical applications of hard-edge aesthetics across drawing, painting, and mixed media. Emphasizing precision, surface control, and intentional composition, students will investigate strategies for producing crisp lines, flat color fields, and highly resolved graphic imagery. Through structured exercises and independent projects, participants will explore masking techniques, material layering, and the relationship between analog and constructed processes. The course encourages a rigorous approach to craftsmanship while supporting the development of a personal visual language informed by contemporary art, design, and visual culture.
