fine arts | drawing

Learn to recognize the world around you through a trained artist’s eye and begin to establish a drawing vocabulary that illustrates your conceptual point of view. A broad array of drawing courses introduces you to the tools and the discipline in a curriculum that is built to strengthen your ability to perceive, capture and convey a message through one of the most dynamic forms in contemporary art practice.

You sharpen your power of observation, use traditional media and techniques, learn anatomy, examine landscapes and map the architectural spaces of the urban environment. As an advanced student, you explore a range of options, processes and experiment with non-traditional materials and methods.
