The Painting Department prepares students to engage in an individual search for meaning and cultural representation through the development of strong visual skills, keen critical reasoning abilities and broad historical and social knowledge and understanding.

As a Painting major, you will develop the purpose, direction, confidence and critical and technical skills necessary to express your ideas as an artist. The department encourages both the freedom and discipline that are essential to this process by offering flexible programs, a committed faculty with a wide range of aesthetic attitudes and a place where ideas rooted in the tradition of painting are examined and exchanged, challenged and refined. All of these elements, combined with the active involvement of your peers, create a stimulating atmosphere conducive to exploration and growth.
