Drawing
Create a Fine Line
In the drawing program, you’ll investigate traditional subject matter such as still life, landscape and the figure to develop your skills and begin experimentation of modern and contemporary approaches. Art 105 Introductory Drawing classes teach you how to draw from observation, measure using light and form and test out a variety of materials. Upper-level courses focus on the figure, color explorations, conceptual development, contemporary perspectives on drawing, color explorations and more. A minimum of two courses in drawing is required for all art majors.
