Program Overview

The drawing impulse is almost as old as mankind, and for good reasons. Drawing is an unparalleled tool for understanding and interpreting the world around us, and it contains timeless possibilities for expression, communication and experimentation. The practice of drawing can be both a foundational skill and a chosen specialty for visual artists.

In the Drawing major at CIA, students use traditional and nontraditional materials as well as unconventional tools to master a visual vocabulary that includes scale, proportion, perspective, composition, line, mass, and modeling.

Our students learn to research concepts and source materials as a basis for developing their work. Drawing majors experience drawing from observation, from imagination, and through experimental processes.

As they develop their own body of work, they begin to understand drawing as it appears in pop, common, and high culture. All of this comes together senior year in a thesis project that incorporates research, ideation, experimentation, evaluation, reflection, refinement, and production.

As part of the Visual Arts Environment, you will share in an integrated curriculum studying other disciplines within the environment including Painting, Printmaking, and Sculpture + Expanded Media.

Some of our Drawing majors go on to successful, entrepreneurial careers as studio artists, or as museum curators or gallerists. Others join entertainment industries such as animation, film, illustration, publishing, and design.
