The course effectively covers essential drawing principles but could improve by incorporating more diverse artistic styles and mediums to broaden students' perspectives. Adding interactive peer critiques could foster a collaborative learning environment and enhance observational skills. Moreover, offering additional resources, such as recommended readings or online tutorials, would support practice outside of class. Lastly, including a module on art history could provide context and inspiration for students’ development.
