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. Assignments encourage you to uncover cultural stereotypes, delve into issues of identity, appropriate images from multiple sources and consider drawing as it interfaces with technology. Advanced students explore and refine their own ideas, processes and use of materials in a community of artists emphasizing an awareness of the relationship of their work to contemporary drawing practices, theory and criticism.

Resources
Drawing is where the creative process begins—regardless of medium.
There's a lot more to drawing than just a no. 2 pencil and an 8.5. X 11-inch sheet of 20 pound computer paper. Get into drawing and these are just a few of the media you'll be manipulating:
- H4 to B6 graphite pencils
- Conté crayon
- Charcoal
- Ink
- Quality colored pencils
- Pastels
- Stumps & tortillions
- Varied weight & tooth paper
- Rubber, kneaded & vinyl eraser

The drawing studio isn't the only place our students work.
UW-Green Bay's Richter Museum of Natural History collections are available for artistic as well as scientific research. The natural forms make excellent subjects for drawing students.
