The Painting and Drawing program offers
a full range of studio courses designed to develop the student's
visual awareness and critical thinking. Students progress from a
rigorous and thorough fundamentals program into introductory and
intermediate level courses in which a variety of increasingly sophisticated
problems are explored. Teaching methods generally include lectures,
specific assignments, slide presentations, and individual and group
critiques. Throughout the program, the emphasis is on a balance
between technical proficiency and idea and material exploration.

At
advanced levels, students begin to work more independently under the guidance
of an instructor, focusing on individual ideas and goals. One may concentrate
in painting and/or drawing, while also working in other areas of the department.
Painting and drawing courses are intended to be taken concurrently, complementing
one another in content. The faculty represents a diversity of approaches
and philosophies. In order to take full advantage of the program, students
work with all members of the faculty. The objective of the department is
to prepare individuals who are visually literate and well-versed in technical,
critical and conceptual skills. |
