Master of Fine Arts in Drawing

Drawing is one of the oldest forms of art, from cave drawings, to the Renaissance, to the many modes of abstraction seen today. The study of drawing strengthens our ability to see and understand the world around us and develops our ability to critically analyze the visual relationships that bring meaning into the world. In that way, drawing is both fundamental to all art and design study, as well as being an expressive activity in its own right.Students committed to artistic expression through drawing are encouraged to consider graduate study at Kansas State University. The MFA with a concentration in Drawing allows students to explore a wide range of approaches in terms of style, media, and concept. The K-State MFA program brings noted artists, art historians and art critics to campus each year, to broaden our student's exposure to contemporary practice. MFA candidates are granted a large private or semi-private studio and access to our fully equipped facilities a final, solo MFA exhibition culminates the program, providing the opportunity to present a strong and cohesive body of personal work.
