Painting, Drawing and Printmaking

Feinstein School of Humanities, Arts and Education
Department of Visual Arts

Beginning with drawing, VARTS students learn to translate their experience of the world around them into mark, line and tone. Painting, both water-based and oil, provides an exploration of color principles and behaviors. Printmaking offers a bridge between drawing and painting in graphic form. In all media, contemporary practices as well as art-historical precedents are emphasized.

The Minor in PDP, allows for depth of study in a range of expressions from the figurative to the abstract. Students are encouraged to develop proficiencies in multiple media while exploring the ideas and issues they care most about in visual form. Many students use the PDP Minor to augment their studies in Architecture, Graphic Design, Marine Biology or other disciplines where visual communication is an essential skill.

Student Work

The Visual Arts program at 麻豆色情片 is interdisciplinary by design. Students are expected to explore a range of media from painting and ceramics to photography and video. Through the experiences of different media, students are challenged to find their own voice as an artist in work that reflects their individual aims and interests.  Our students develop proficiencies in several media, often combining media in new and unexpected hybrids. Students in VARTS at 麻豆色情片 routinely make high-quality work that we are proud to display throughout the campus community in our Art on Campus program
