BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS: PAINTING CONCENTRATION The painting program teaches the discipline of painting as a visual language both upholding tradition and seeking innovation. The program's goal is to empower students with a broad range of representational skills, a confident command of materials and processes, and a powerful vocabulary of symbols, metaphors, themes and subjects. The program starts with a strong grounding in materials and techniques. The skills of painting from observation, organizing formal structure, developing narrative content and strengthening individual expression are emphasized. Issues of representation are engaged through projects that inspire risk-taking and discovery. Students also explore abstraction and conceptual concerns, and learn mixed media approaches to extend the painting experience.
