fine arts | painting

As a student of painting, you begin your studies with a rich exploration of painting media. By examining the history of painting, from ancient to contemporary, you expand your vocabulary and deepen your understanding. The tools of traditional painting—often complemented by non-traditional tools—accompany your study.

Through painting, you explore and investigate representation to abstraction. As you advance, you build a visual language to describe your ideas, hone your preference and skill and master your painting medium.
