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 accelerates students’ skills and fuels the intensity of the need to create.
Our students study the language of drawing and confront its basic forms – still life, the human figure, self- portraiture and environments. These forms become the foundation of the more personal work that follows, when voice and vision are cultivated. Drawing students find that their visual language is expanded course-by-course, drawing by drawing. They are challenged to experiment and uncover new levels of self-reflection and self-discipline.
While MIAD’s Drawing major 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 others. Above all else, there is an ingrained passion for creation.
