Minor in Painting
The Minor in Painting allows students to focus on painting as a medium, discipline, process and vehicle to evolve conceptual thinking with painting practices.
It will provide students the opportunity to explore the technical, formal, historical and theoretical approaches to painting through a combination of studio courses.
Explorations in traditional mediums such as oils and acrylics will be utilized as well as mixed media and non-traditional mediums.
The analysis of contemporary practices lead to students developing personal strategies in painting.
Painting provides skills, creative thinking and appreciation applicable to many fields of study, including careers in education, counseling, therapy, business, marketing, communications, art history and any of the other visual art disciplines.
Coursework encourages experimentation and self-discovery.
