Art History Art Education Art Genreal Transfer Credit Painting Students who emphasize in painting enjoy the benefits of a comparatively large and personal studio space, small class sizes which lend to more personal attention, and a facility that is well-equipped. The painting studio is located at the center of the Traylor studios, directly adjacent to the art supply store. This large and open area is very flexible in design, allowing students to expand their personal workspace upon need. Students are given their own studio space, easels, and cabinets to work with. At the center of the studio is a collection of chairs and tables from which students take part in critiques of their work.
Students learn the basic techniques that strengthen their development of a visual vocabulary.
Techniques covered are acrylic, oil, and watercolor. 1 medium and subject matter are left open to the student artists' discretion. Besides the occasional Short Term painting course that is offered for non-art majors, the painting studio is strictly reserved to the three levels of fine arts painting classes. Painting I focuses on technique, Painting II concentrates on a development of style and subject matter, and Painting III is an open forum where student artists are encouraged to openly explore painting as an artistic medium.
