Painting and Drawing

Students in painting and drawing benefit from the variety of views of faculty members who are all practicing and exhibiting artists. Studio work is complemented by trips to New York City to visit galleries, museums, and artists' studios. Students pursuing the B.F.A. major in painting/drawing take part in sophomore and junior reviews; all students enjoy critique and review sessions by the resident faculty, as well as by visiting artists and critics.

Students have access to nine studios specifically designed for painting and drawing, with large north-facing windows that provide excellent natural lighting. In the junior and senior years, selected students may be assigned semiprivate studios.
