Drawing
Learn how to speak in an expansive visual language.
Who We Are
Drawing is a diverse craft, an art of its own, an interdisciplinary intellectual exercise, and theory of a visual language. As a student in the Drawing concentration, you will build a solid foundation in the basics of drawing, learn perception skills, as well as acquire a visual vocabulary, and explore personal expression and a broad range of ideas and theories. You can go beyond paper and discover the possibilities of the medium. Our program encourages students to be highly motivated individuals that are engaged in drawing as a sophisticated fine art.
Student Work
Draw your own future
As with each of our concentrations, your coursework will be supported by our Foundations Program, giving you a visual language and a critical eye to participate in the world of drawing. Your work will display an advanced level of visual challenge and aesthetic and convey a sense of content and meaning. You will leave the program with a professional portfolio that allows you to take the next steps towards continuing an artistic practice.
Our Facilities
Take up space to create, observe, & meditate
The Drawing facilities boasts a generous amount of dedicated space for undergraduate students. Junior & senior drawing students have semi-private studio spaces they can access at any time. We believe this enables the development of an artist's personal language & gives them the ability to create professional-quality artistic works
The Visual Arts Building has its own dedicated Digital Fabrication Lab where you can learn 3D modeling & printing, the operation of laser cutters, & the use of CNC machinery. The Nancy Richardson Design center is a short walk away & several of our faculty members serve as instructors.
