Drawing

Drawing is about learning to see. Creative work in drawing requires both visual and conceptual skills. An awareness of the expressive means in drawing as well as the mechanical tools are essential to the development of personal vision, which in turns results in individual expression. It is this expression that must be developed in order to have the ability to see, think, respond and in the end, create.Through the exercise of drawing, visual awareness and acuity increases. It strengthens your ability to perceive two and three-development within the Division of Fine Arts. Although basic of all graphic disciplines, a solid, well-rounded exposure to the various elements and concepts of drawing is integral to a complete development in Fine Art.

Students are advised to follow the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) in Art degree plan and take the two semesters of basic drawing, followed by upper level drawing courses, and independent study projects.
