About the course

The Painting Area exposes students to a diverse range of media and approaches to creative problem solving. The area provides them with the discipline and professional skills to be successful visual artists, creative thinkers, designers, and entrepreneurs. Students are encouraged to develop strong painting and drawing skills, consider explorations of old and new forms of artmaking (representational, abstraction, 2D, 3D, and alternative materials and processes), and to develop independent, unique, personal forms of expression. Our facilities accommodate research in drawing, painting, mixed media, and experimental approaches ? including (but not limited to) acrylics, oils, encaustics, watercolor, gouache, paint sticks, cold wax, graphite, charcoal, pastels, oil pastels, colored pencils, inks, dyes, and aqua dispersion pigments.
