During winter quarter, students will address weekly studio projects in class designed to improve their understanding of color, composition, thematic research and studio methodology. Through winter and spring quarters, each student will create a series of paintings on an individual theme and will research topics in art history related to their work in painting. We will study texts on contemporary art theory and criticism, make visits to galleries and museums and view the works of visiting professional artists. This program is designed for students who already have a strong work ethic and self-discipline, and who are willing to work long hours in the art studio, on campus, in company with their fellow students.
