BA Drawing

Drawing students work with a variety of tools, media and subject matter. Beginning classes introduce the fundamentals of basic visual language such as mark-making, gesture, line, values and representations of forms in space. In second-semester drawing, the human form is studied through the dimensions of gesture, line, mass, color, texture, proportion, composition and media. In addition, a variety of drawing concepts and attitudes are explored. Advanced-level work allows for further examination of drawing ideas emphasizing cultivation of personal expression and individual style. Drawing students are encouraged to develop the ability to translate creative concepts into drawings.
