BFA in Two-Dimensional Studies - Drawing

Study mode: Full Time |

This program leads to a dynamic and innovative approach to the study of studio art. The program continues to be based on respect for tradition and the mastery of craft yet is enriched by openness to new media and inventive studio practice. The Drawing Area serves a dual function within the School of Art. Both traditionally and in contemporary practice, drawing has served artists as a medium in which forms and ideas find their initial and most direct expression. A common language unifying artists across studio and design disciplines, students from a wide variety of majors enroll in drawing courses. However, in the contemporary art world drawing is increasingly viewed as an independent mode of expression and many students choose to focus on drawing as their primary medium. The drawing curriculum begins with intensive work in life drawing. As students gain control of formal visual elements and progress to the intermediate level, a wider range of subject matter and concepts are introduced. No longer limited to perceptual drawing, students are encouraged to explore less familiar narrative and abstract modes and to experiment with media, formats, paper, and alternative supports. At the advanced level, class work is almost exclusively self-directed, supplemented with weekly discussions, readings, and assignments preparing students for the BFA Thesis Exhibition.
