Our Mission:
The Painting minor provides students the opportunity to explore the technical, formal,
historical and theoretical approaches to painting through a combination of studio
and art history courses. Explorations in oil, acrylic and mixed media as well as analysis
of contemporary practices lead to students developing personal strategies in painting.
