About the course

Visual artists give valuable gifts to humanity by communicating their vision of not only the world as it is, but as it could be. Talent is important, but a formal art education helps you develop it so your career can take flight. The AUM Department of Fine Arts offers the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Art degree with a concentration in Painting and Drawing to refine your artistry and become a practicing artist. Art skills are highly sought after to:

　　Give companies a creative edge

　　Teach the next generation of young artists

　　Restore and archive precious collections

　　Critique works exposing the vital role of art in our society

　　Your BFA degree will be respected by employers looking for creative talent to join their team. AUM will help connect you to like-minded individuals and organizations to create your own professional network. In addition to offering classes in their areas of expertise, each faculty member maintains an active practice devoted to creative work, exhibitions, academic research and scholarly publishing, or public performance.

　　The visual arts training this concentration provides, along with the other liberal arts components of the curriculum, forms a solid foundation for jobs in advertising, marketing, crafts, entrepreneurship and other career endeavors. You’ll sharpen your skills and develop your singular artistic voice alongside successful faculty artists in small classes and studios that are highly interactive. You’ll be free to express yourself in a supportive and collaborative environment as you build your portfolio.

　　As a BFA candidate in painting and drawing, you will also have the opportunity to exhibit your professionally prepared work in a solo exhibition at the Cason McDermott Art Gallery on the AUM campus. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
