Painting Tyler's graduate program in Painting owes its vigor to the lively interaction of a vital and accomplished faculty with talented, committed, and strongly motivated students. The students are carefully selected to form a group with diverse artistic directions showing promise of development. The context provided is both competitive and supportive. Courses primarily take the form of individual critiques, with regularly scheduled group meetings. Seminar work is scheduled to engage broad contemporary issues.
Students work in private two-person studios, accessible around the clock.
Visiting Artists are regularly incorporated into our course structure giving lectures school-wide and visiting graduate studios giving individual or group critiques. The graduate student can elect to spend one of the two years in the program at Temple's Rome campus. As space is limited there, faculty approval is required. Upon completion of the M.F.A. program, we expect the artist to have met the challenge of a rigorous educational experience, and to be well prepared to assume a productive professional life.
