Painting

The painting program is housed in a newly renovated studio on the
third floor of the Humanities Building (Room 305.) The studio offers
designated areas for beginning, intermediate and advanced painting, a
workshop and four individual studios for BFA students. All students
begin in ARS 210 using oil paint with an academic approach to
observational painting of the still life and self-portraiture as a
means for learning to master the language of paint. At the
intermediate and advanced levels, students are exposed to
contemporary theory, encouraged to go beyond the technical issues of
paint, to explore other processes and media, to address conceptual
purpose and to begin developing a personal aesthetic.
