Painting

The making of art is a process of discovery, informed by craft, intuitive play, rigorous self-examination, and an awareness of history.

Although we are in a climate of continual change, a climate in which traditional values in art are in constant question, students need to acquire solid skills in perception, close observation, and careful analytic thinking.

A Plan of Concentration in painting and drawing was first and foremost a broad-based course of study. The course structure emphasized perceptual and technical skills and directed students toward critical and historical awareness and to the identification of a personal direction in painting and drawing.
