is deeply rooted in art history + coupled with traditional training of representational drawing + painting, creating a balanced curriculum you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.

Students in this industry focus concentrate on developing their observation to a keen awareness of what they see in nature, and that which is exists in the world around them. TAD artists strive to master the craft of image-making using tools in both traditional media (graphite, charcoal, crayon, oils, watercolors) as well as digital media (photoshop and painter). TAD faculty show in leading galleries around the world and will assist students as they prepare for a successful career in fine art.
