Painting/Drawing - Bachelor of Fine Arts

Program Total Credits: 123

Courses in the Painting/Drawing program evolve from the study of basic working methods and concepts to the refinements of personal vision and aesthetic judgment. In the final semester of the senior year, each student is required to complete a thesis project, which is presented in the combined form of a written paper and a solo exhibition. This project is open to the University community and is reviewed by a collegiate panel comprised of UArts professors from both the studio and liberal art disciplines.
