The undergraduate Drawing sequence begins with the basic language of drawing. The 2000-level courses in Perceptual Drawing and Figure Drawing I emphasize the uses of drawing from observation and art anatomy while Drawing: Movement and Motion asks students to explore the language of drawing visual movement and the concepts of motion in two-dimensional art forms.

Students build 3000-level courses, which consist of Color Drawing, Figure Drawing II, Sketchbook/Journal Development, and Experimental Drawing, onto their foundation classes. In these courses, themes are explored through assignments, which explore ongoing issues and new approaches to drawing.

During the senior drawing studio year, a body of more personal work is distilled. Students are guided in their professional practice as well as a studio ethic that hones the individualization of voice and vision, expansion of visual language, experimentation, and the necessary levels of self-reflection and self-discipline.

Computer Requirements

UF's Official Computer Policy

"Access to and on-going use of a computer will be required for all students to complete their degree programs successfully. Effective with the Summer B 1998 term, the University of Florida expects each student entering the junior year, as well as each student new to the university, to acquire computer hardware and software appropriate to his or her degree program. Competency in the basic use of a computer is a requirement for graduation. Class assignments may require use of a computer, academic advising and registration can be done by computer and official university correspondence is often sent via e-mail.

While the university offers limited access to computers through its computer labs, most students will be expected to purchase or lease a computer that is capable of dial-up or network connection to the Internet, graphical access to the World Wide Web, and productivity functions such as word processing and spreadsheet calculation. Costs of meeting this requirement will be included in financial aid considerations."

NOTE: The College of Fine Arts Requirements are slightly different as programs at the Junior and Senior level may require highly specialized computer equipment.
