Drawing/Painting/Printmaking
The Drawing/Painting/Printmaking program provides a comprehensive view of studio art practices, applications, theories, and history, with an emphasis on trends in contemporary art. The first year focuses on the foundations of art in design, drawing and art theory. In the second year students must select an emphasis, in either painting or printmaking, comprised of a comprehensive studio experience focusing on the basic skills and language required to further develop conceptual and expressive aspects of their work. In the third and fourth years, students continue to develop skills in material selection, technique, and application, but are also expected to develop their own voice and dynamic approach to their work. In addition, critical theories and professional practices in art are investigated to help students develop a sense of placement within the artist community.
