More About Drawing Marathon Exhibition 

Drawing Marathon is a foundational course in the MFA Studio Arts program at UNCG. Through a four-week intensive course that meets for 14+ hours every weekend, students work through preconceived notions about their own image-making and artistic practices, spending large blocks of time drawing in response to prompts or guidelines and then discussing the learning process with peers and this year’s Drawing Marathon instructor, Mariam Stephan. This exhibition is the culmination of the work produced during these four weeks by the graduate students, including a range of drawings from quick experimentations to fully resolved drawings.

Nill Smith 

Working from iconography, my personal alphabet, and an exploration of unknown consciousness, these fast-paced drawings sum up a narrative of transition and modification within the breadth of my practice, and a starting point for new horizons as a first-year student in the MFA program.
