Drawing

The curriculum encourages visual investigation through the practice of drawing and exposes you to courses representing a range of methods, sources, and dialogues.

Courses emphasize the translation and observation of relationships within the figure and objects in three-dimensional space. Advanced courses will engage you in the integration of new mediums, development of narrative, and the creation of ideas for self-directed projects. Critique is used as a platform for interaction, and you will present work for both formal and interpretive analysis at several stages of production.
