CURRICULUM IN PAINTING
For the Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting
The curriculum in painting requires 122 credit hours and provides extensive training in preparation for professional practice as an artist.
The first year is devoted primarily to the study of design, composition, and the acquisition of both representational and abstract drawing skills. The second year concentrates on introducing the student to beginning painting skills and techniques with further studies in drawing and composition. The last two years are devoted to the development of individual creative expression in painting and other media.
When followed by a program leading to a degree
of master of fine arts in painting, this curriculum is recommended as preparation
for a career as an artist and as a teacher of painting and drawing and related subjects
at the college level.
