Minor in Drawing
The Minor in Drawing builds a platform from observational drawing issues and drawing acuity grounded in the depiction of what is seen and observed. Students will expand drawing to conceptually developed ways to see, process, make marks and use materials to expand the role of drawing, what is perceived, conveyed and understood while exploring its role in visual culture and communication.
Required courses help students develop work that is communicative, analytical, and expressively responsive to what is seen/observed, while electives allow students to explore multiple areas of interest, mediums, and processes that encourage interdisciplinary thinking and mixed media.
It will provide students the opportunity to explore the technical, formal, historical and theoretical approaches to painting through a combination of studio courses.
Explorations in traditional mediums such as graphite and charcoal will be utilized as well as mixed media and non-traditional mediums.
The analysis of contemporary practices lead to students developing and expanding personal strategies in drawing.
Drawing provides skills, creative thinking and appreciation applicable to many fields of study, including careers in education, counseling, therapy, business, marketing, communications, art history and any of the other visual art disciplines.
Coursework encourages experimentation and self-discovery.
