student work
All areas of our curriculum require drawing, and for students interested in drawing we suggest taking all of the classes offered in that area. All Art students should take as much drawing as their program allows. Students may also repeat drawing sections to gain more experience with various drawing concepts and techniques. Transfer credit is given for only one section of each course.
