About the Facility

Students are encouraged to develop their own vision in the area of painting through studio practice. While work in oil is emphasized, students have the opportunity to explore other painting media such as acrylic, encaustic, watercolor, and mixed media. While beginning students expand their technical skills in drawing, color theory and paint handling, advanced students progress toward a body of work that intelligently fuses form and content. Critiques play an important role in the painting curriculum as a means to articulate one's vision and creative development. Students have access to a tool room during designated hours for constructing stretcher frames and preparing surfaces.
