About the course

Painting has a long history, and the decision to be a painter means understanding the history of the medium and how one can choose to use or disrupt that history. The goal of the Painting program is to educate students who are aware of painting as a language that comprises a vocabulary of symbols, metaphors, representational systems, and documentary ambitions, as well as material processes.

　　From the earliest images on cave walls, painters have found inspiration in both the world around them and their own internal worlds. Students are encouraged to acknowledge and understand painting?s long traditions. Many students discover extensive connections between contemporary issues and the medium?s rich history. Art history courses contribute to a student?s understanding of the important role played by artists in society. In this way, painting can be seen and understood as a documentary record, as evidence of a personal vision, and as a tool for achieving personal and social goals.
