Drawing is the fundamental language of the visual arts. It is the way we record observations, plan projects in all other media and graphically "think". Southwestern students taking this concentration will earn a 4-year degree in Fine Arts. The basic courses focus on methods of graphic visualization using a variety of traditional and non-traditional materials and methods. Still life, architecture, landscape and figure drawing are explored along with the development of problem solving skills and personal concept. Advanced courses emphasize further enhancing skills while encouraging individually directed ideas using various drawing methods.
