The
painting program will foster creativity
in ways that lead to significant artistic expression.
From Introductory to Advanced Painting you will
develop competency not only with traditional
materials and methods, but also with the kind
of critical visual thinking necessary to the
evolution of an individual aesthetic. A sound
understanding of art history and its relationship
to the contemporary visual arts will accompany
your acquisition of technical skill.
As you master the basics,
you will be encouraged to test the traditions of
painting through the use of non-traditional materials,
methods and your own contemporary ideas. Whether
you focus upon the observation of nature, the expressive
use of color, and/or the exploration of conceptual
art, this program will prepare you for professional
artistic practice.
