玛丽·席勒·迈尔斯艺术学院的绘画课程提供了形式，技术和概念方法之间的平衡，其目标是制作具有个人表现力的作品，并唤起人们对艺术的历史和当代问题的认识。学生首先要发展观察和表示的技能，然后再研究更复杂的空间和色彩问题。
The painting and drawing program in the Mary Schiller Myers School of Art offers a balance of formal, technical and conceptual approaches with the goal of producing work that is individually expressive and engages an awareness of art's historical and contemporary issues.Students begin by developing the skills of observation and representation, then move to more complex issues of space and color. Advanced courses continue the examination of contemporary issues and emphasize the development of an individual body of work through corefoundation courses in: drawing, two-dimensional design, three-dimensional design, life drawing. The B.F.A. in PaintingDrawing paves the way to follow a wide variety of career paths — such as artist, illustrator, graphic designer, instructor, curator, gallery owner, interiorexterior designer or art therapist.
