The Graduate programs in Painting and Drawing are designed to
further the student's art making practice through the development of enhanced conceptual,
aesthetic and technical skills. The programs also provide the student access
to a wide variety of courses including: classical and contemporary art history, criticism,
aesthetics, postmodern thought, art law, arts administration, museum studies and the
business of art. Graduate Faculty offer instruction through a series rotating, topic
specific Painting and Drawing graduate seminar courses, as well as individual instruction
on a tutorial basis, and meet with individuals or small groups regularly. Complementing
this individual instruction is a series of group critiques involving the Painting and
Drawing students and faculty. These critique sessions offer the student a variety of
opinions and provide a public forum for lively topical discussions and sometimes-conflicting
points of view.
Facilities
Currently each painting and drawing graduate student is provided with individual, private
studio space. Studios are located at two locations across campus: Yon Hall and the new
McCarty Annex Graduate Painting Studio Building. The studios are fully air conditioned,
ventilated, well lit, and each facility has a dedicated critique space. In addition,
students are allowed access to facilities in various area facilities such as printmaking,
sculpture shop, ceramics, photography, as well as 24-hour access to Macintosh and PC
computer labs.
