Drawing is the primary visual language and the essential means by which we organize and present pictorial ideas. This program provides fundamental skills for students majoring in all areas of the visual arts. As a drawing major, you will develop your formal abilities as the basis for expressive representation and visual communication. Each course is designed to expand your understanding of pictorial structures and the process of conceptualization, utilizing a full range of graphic elements.

You will be introduced to a variety of media and subject matter, and your imagery will be developed through the balance of observation and ideation. As you advance in your study, you will be encouraged and guided towards an independent and self-directed body of work. You may also combine drawing with your work in another studio or design field.
