Painting

Degree Details

The Bachelor of Fine Arts concentration in painting is designed to prepare the student to become a fine artist. The integration of studio and lecture courses in the curriculum as well as activities and enrichment opportunities encourages the skills and concepts essential to the student’s growth as an artist. A broad spectrum of methods, ideas and conceptual problems, including still life, landscape and figurative studies, gives students experience with a variety of subjects. Students broaden their visual repertory and develop their skills through the study of color, space, shape, form, texture, surface and the physicality of paint. Advanced courses and the development of the student artist’s personal aesthetic allow the student to create an individual visual “language.”
