Oil Painting
The Oil Painting program trains students in the technical aspects of
oil painting. Coursework and assignments direct students through the process
of creating a unique, consistently styled portfolio of work. As they develop
a personal creative vision, Oil Painting students apply critical, historical
and theoretical principles to their own work while developing the professional
business practices of the fine art field.
