Program overview
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program in Painting recognizes the primacy of painting as a vital mode of contemporary expression. Instruction, practice, and awareness of historical and contemporary context are brought together to enable students to think critically and imaginatively, and to express their ideas with skill and conviction. The principal component of the Painting program is rigorous studio activity, with students exploring various forms of painting to develop an individual vision. Students also consider the role of sight, insight, and perception in relation to processes of making. Critical dialogue and rigorous expectations about studio practice support work toward a fully formed artistic vision. The program is intended to provide a solid base for postgraduate involvement in the larger art world.
