The painting program offers a series of six distinct studio classes. Introduction to Painting is required for all B.F.A. students and is one of two options for B.A. or B.S. degree students. This class is usually taken in the sophomore year, after completing studio foundations courses in drawing and design. Introduction to Painting focuses on descriptive oil painting from observation, and offers a classical approach to painting. Students may take any of the five advanced painting courses after successfully completing the introductory course. Advanced painting courses concentrate on specific media based or conceptual problems, and include the following courses, taught on a rotating basis: Figure Painting, Water-based Media, Narrative Painting, Materials and Techniques, and Special Topics in painting. Students wishing to complete a concentration in painting for the B.F.A. degree also take a Portfolio class in painting in which they work one on one with their concentration advisor to develop a related body of work for their senior show. Painting classes are taught in Peterson Hall, a historic building on campus that has just been renovated and includes two painting classrooms as well as individual studio spaces for graduating seniors in the painting concentration.
