Drawing

All studio art majors begin their practice with drawing, the heart of the visual arts, in which the strength of our foundations program is emphasized through traditional observational studies that explore materials, mark making, sighting techniques and formal concepts – all vital for mastery in the medium. Upper levels of drawing emphasize development of conceptual ideas through extensive research, exploration and alternative processes that are focused towards the understanding of drawing as it relates to contemporary practice and its expanding boundaries. Students within the drawing concentration graduate with sophistication towards the medium and the ability to professionally articulate concept through writing, public speaking and imagery.
