Painting
The Painting Program features balanced instruction and a diverse faculty presenting a wide range of viewpoints. This well-rounded educational preparation provides students with the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and ability essential to creative activity. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking skills, refinement of intellectual processes, and exposure to traditional and contemporary aspects of the painter’s craft.
Students earning below a grade of B in either HER P302 or HER P304 must pass a portfolio review by the painting faculty before enrolling in HER P401 or P402.
