Visual Arts, BFA Visual Arts, MFADrawing Studio Overview
Drawing is taught as a form of visual expression used to generate ideas, to study the surrounding physical world in a critical and intense manner, and as a means of expression and communication.
The definition of Drawing at Clemson is open and expansive, reflecting contemporary views of Drawing, which encompasses a varied range of media, processes and concepts. Drawing can be defined as the result of any tool that makes a conscious and expressive mark on a surface. Students are encouraged to be aware and experiment with this expansive definition in their studio work, but also to respect and explore the individual characteristics, traditions and concepts of drawing.
