Bring a willingness to learn and an ambitious curiosity and we will support and challenge you to discover the many worlds drawing inhabits and to develop a personally rewarding creative response.
Our BA (Hons) Drawing course provides you with practical knowledge of methods and materials across a wide range of drawing contexts, including drawing as sculpture, narrative drawing, drawing as performance and drawing from observation and invention.
You’ll be encouraged to question and experiment with your ideas of what drawing can be, using research, peer collaboration and creation, deepening your understanding to develop an ambitious personal practice.
The drawing department at OCA is very open to wherever each student journey may lead. We are proud that the diversity of our student body correlates to a diversity of approaches to drawing.
