2022-2023 University Bulletin [ARCHIVED BULLETIN]
Painting - B.A.
|
|
Painting and drawing majors take most of their course work in drawing, painting, and printmaking. Additional courses in art history, design, photography, and sculpture extend the scope of the major. Students acquire the technical proficiency needed to begin to set up and define their personal directions. A central focus of the major is the study of drawing as a means to organize thoughts, feelings, and images.

Art and Design Foundation Core
Visual literacy is at the heart of the foundation core. In a world of increased and accelerated visual imagery, with greater numbers of people having the resources to create their own images, it is important to be able to understand how images work, both psychologically and physiologically.
Foundation courses offer students the perceptual and technical knowledge required to effectively create and control their own images. Survey courses in art history set up a historical context for students’ own work and help lay the groundwork for further study in art history, theory, and criticism.
Prospective majors are advised to consult with a member of the art faculty in planning their program and to complete the foundation core as soon as possible.
