Description

Students who pursue this degree develop their technical skills through extensive studio work in painting, drawing, and special studio seminars. Students are encouraged to experiment in new directions and to remain open to innovative ideas and approaches as they develop their own unique means of expression.

Painting students study under a diversified professional faculty whose styles and modes of painting run the gamut of contemporary expression. There is also a visiting artist program. The Shaffer Art Building offers well-lit studios, a well-supervised wood shop, and individual studios for all majors.
