Overview

Key Features

Drawing is a way to engage with your surroundings and context, using a range of techniques and tools to translate, subvert, and communicate the world around you.

Drawing requires creativity and experimentation—it asks that you explore new modes of representation and use your unique perspective to reflect or reimagine an image. At the same time, it involves developing your technical skills so that you can bring your vision or concept to life.

This Drawing program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design gives you the freedom to define your own approach as an artist. It will also teach you how to situate your practice in relation to larger themes, histories, communities, and contemporary styles.

The program is designed to grant you many opportunities to develop your own drawing practice. You’ll hone your skills and ask critical questions that can influence the way we see the world. Depending on your individual path, you'll discover the possibilities for drawing from your imagination, sharing narratives, creating unconventional forms, and creating compelling images from real life.

Students will produce strong bodies of work for exhibiting and defining themselves as innovative artists — and graduate equipped to jump into professional roles in the arts.

Through collaborative workshops, self-directed projects, and individual guidance from instructors, you'll have many chances to build community and define your practice as a visual artist and researcher.
