The drawing area has been designed to establish strong perceptual, analytical and
conceptual awareness within the area of drawing.
Drawing area offers courses (subjects) in analytical drawing, particularly from the
figure, as well as studio methods classes which investigate pragmatic and
philosophical issues.
The most significant aspect of the studio area emphasises the development of a
personal imagery within a broad interpretation of drawing activity. One indication of
this is the study of computer digital imaging as an aspect of the Drawing studio at
the first year level.

In first year, the aim is to establish a foundation in the studio of drawing that will
serve the student as a basis for the development of personal imagery, specifically
within fine art, and within the broader field of visual arts in industry. There is a strong
initial emphasis on perceptual analysis.
In the second and third years, students are encouraged to develop a clear personal
vision and a sense of their philosophical stance within a contemporary cultural
spectrum. This develops through personal research, assisted by lecturers, and an active
participation in classes, including individual and group tutorials, talks by visiting
artists, gallery visits, etc.
