THE OVERVIEW:
Paper. Line. Discovery.

It begins with the feeling of making a single mark on a blank sheet of paper.

There is great power in that single mark, and it is the basis of all visual art. To some, drawing is a necessary passion, something that brings focus to life. It is personal inquiry, journey and expression of an intimate point of view of the world. MIAD’s Drawing program will accelerate your skills and fuel the intensity of your need to create. The Drawing Major

Early on, you will study the basic language of drawing and confront its basic forms—still life, the human figure, the self-portrait and figurative study. These forms are the foundation of more personal work that follows in your junior and senior years, when your voice and vision are cultivated. Your visual language will be expanded, you’ll be challenged to experiment and uncover new levels of self-reflection and self-discipline.

While MIAD’s Drawing Program is designed to develop practicing artists, the program serves to prepare students for a wide variety of careers. MIAD’s graduates are studio artists, work in museums and galleries, as illustrators, animators and in architectural restoration. Many pursue graduate degrees and go on to teach, with greater respect than ever before for the single mark on a blank sheet of paper.
