in today's art. Through extensive individual drawing,
reading, and discussion, the roots and meanings of our
art are confronted in terms of the relationship between
images and the techniques that generate these images,
and social, economic, political, and aesthetic attitudes.
Technique and methods are considered for their basic qualities
