Introduction
Please click here to see general Visual Arts information.
The painting & drawing emphasis takes a contemporary approach that works to integrate painterly and drawing concerns with focused artistic practice and developing critical dialogue. As a studio discipline, painting and drawing is as rich in visual arts history as it is charged with contemporary innovation. Painting and drawing as a studio practice encourages a multi-faceted dialogue within this continuum, developing a base of technical skill and an awareness of visual culture while infusing experimental painterly and drawing approaches and theoretical ideas. In painting & drawing, students learn to perceive, read and translate the visual world into personal forms of expression and representation. Students acquire knowledge of theory, history and criticism while developing a relationship to the physical production of art.
Painting & drawing introduces students to a variety of techniques and ideas while challenging them to develop a studio process with formal, conceptual and spatial impact. Painting and drawing classes are interdisciplinary, allowing the use of multiple materials and/or techniques in the production of a successful art piece or body of work. Students come away with a strong studio skill base, an engaged conceptual and professional framework, and an ability to take part in the exciting field of contemporary painting and drawing.
