Master the foundational art

By focusing your Master of Arts in studio art on drawing, you'll refine your technical precision and develop a signature visual language. This concentration prepares you to command the basic principles of composition, light and line that serve as the bedrock for all professional artistic expression.
Define your vision
Explore contemporary techniques and historical methods that enable you to produce complex, narrative-driven pieces. Whether you're building a professional gallery presence or preparing for further academic study, you'll emerge with a sophisticated portfolio that demonstrates your mastery of form and concept.
Build your professional edge
Our program bridges the gap between your creative talent and your professional goals. Come work in an environment that encourages experimentation while grounding your practice in disciplined study. When you graduate SFA, it will be with a competitive edge that highlights your ability to think conceptually and deliver high-quality, professional work.
