Working with both contemporary technology and traditional media, students’ pictorial concepts are realized in conventional drawings, alternative mixed media works on paper, and viable illustrations. From figure drawing to sequential imaging, the Drawing/Illustration student develops their own unique expression in drawing as well as the conceptual decision making skills necessary to visually convey an intellectual idea.
