Painting Minor
The painting program provides students not only with a strong technical and creative foundation, but also with the opportunity to explore the endless number of paths the painting medium can lead an artist. It exposes students to the range and multiplicity of ideas that generate contemporary approaches to painting, to stimulate a full understanding of those concepts and to challenge students to develop a personal vocabulary of painterly forms and create a store of visual ideas relating to their own lives and experiences.
Within both Western and non-Western traditions, painting has a long history as a site of aesthetic experience and cultural questioning. This minor allows students to immerse themselves in painting, as well as developing a grasp of the critical issues surrounding it. Beginning courses provide the fundamentals of color, composition, and medium. Advanced courses require more ambitious projects, personal direction, research and sustained focus.
