Painting + Drawing
Concentration within the B.F.A. Studio Art program
What you’ll learn
The Painting + Drawing program is based in the belief that painting and drawing are a language that upholds tradition while constantly seeking experimentation. In a supportive and challenging atmosphere, you'll be asked to question intentions, investigate and expand your ideas of painting and drawing. You'll learn to develop a coherent body of work that is the beginning of your dialogue with the world.
