UNDERGRADUATE | PAINTING
UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
Painting at the U of M is taught within the broader cultural,
historical, and contemporary context in which art is made and
experienced. Within this context, our undergraduate and graduate
students have a rigorous experience in the discipline of painting.
Instruction in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and other media, as well as
opportunities for mixed media exploration with other areas, is combined
with an investigation and discussion of art theory and contemporary
issues. Small classes allow students to develop personal interests,
aesthetics, and thinking skills. Our faculty and visiting artists
provide both group and individual attention through lectures,
demonstrations, discussions, and critiques.
Students are
introduced to a variety of techniques and principles about the nature
of painting with the intention of encouraging individual exploration.
Undergraduate painting students are required to take courses in the
other fine art concentrations. Because contemporary art frequently
takes the form of multimedia works, painting students often create
works that incorporate other art media such as collage, photography,
drawing, sculpture, digital imagery, and installation.
