Drawing

The Drawing program cultivates foundational skills through advanced observational, conceptual, and experimental processes to enable students to explore ideas across media and disciplines. 

About the Program

Students in all majors within the School of Art are able to complete a sequence of drawing courses to strengthen their drawing as a tool for visual thinking and recording, and examine ways to push its boundaries.

Drawing majors are expected to work with a wide range of approaches and materials to investigate drawing in various contexts and engage with contemporary practice. Advanced drawing students work in close consultation with full-time faculty to pursue individual directions and interests.

Undergraduate Degree in Drawing

The Bachelor of Arts program in Studio Art offers students a more generalized course of study and the opportunity to pursue a minor.
