Drawing Minor - 24 units

Within the art community, drawing has emerged as a media unto itself in recent years, rather than being seen only as a preparatory stage in the production of an artwork. For many artists, drawing is their primary medium, and they execute ambitious works using traditional drawing tools, mixed media, or tools made available through vew technology. Outside of the discipline of art, drawing continues to be important in may pursuits. It is a powerful component of printed creative works, as well as digital works of all kinds including websites, games, and animation.
