We are committed to creating an atmosphere of open critical exchange & a community of intense artistic practice that favors students' individual development as artists & thinkers. Colorado State University's MFA Drawing program is a 60 credit, self-guided program that embraces drawing understood in its broadest definition and open to interdisciplinary approaches. As one of very few graduate programs that focus on Drawing, our program is designed to benefit any artist interested in the exploration of drawing language elements, with or without an implicit relationship to paper. We focus on developing the artistic idiom of each artist.<br><br>Our graduate students make art in conversation with and complemented by the research of the contemporary field of drawing and drawing-related work. This includes theoretical concerns such as critical, philosophical, political, anthropological, social, and economic concerns.
