Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art - Drawing

University of Texas - Arlington

Exploring techniques for representing images two dimensionally begins with training one’s eye to discern an object in a different way, studying planes, contours, and perspective to accurately represent an object on a flat surface - drawing requires both visual and conceptual skills. As such, a complex awareness of expressive means in drawing is essential to communicating a personal vision through imagery. It is this visual expression that must be developed in order to see, think, respond and in the end, create. Through the exercise of drawing, visual awareness and acuity increases. It strengthens the ability to perceive two and three-dimensional development within the Division of Fine Arts. Although essential to all graphic disciplines, a solid, well-rounded exposure to the various elements and concepts of drawing is integral to a comprehensive development in Fine and Studio Art.
