The Drawing Program begins with a Drawing I course which teaches students the fundamentals skills and techniques used in creating drawings.
Students deal in depth with concepts, techniques and materials.
Problem areas include composition, content, technical concerns, use of color and a range of material use from traditional to contemporary alternatives. Course work is based on observation of actual objects and learning how to depict those objects representationally. Intermediate and advanced levels of drawing continue to place emphasis on development of those skills, but also allows and encourages students to begin to develop a thematic direction in their work in drawing. Life Drawing emphasizes proportions, anatomy and aesthetic relationships. Intermediate and advanced level courses in Drawing and Life Drawing are repeatable for completion of an area of Concentration.
