印第安纳州立大学的绘画研究生课程侧重于个人的成长，以及对形式，内容和主题之间关系的视觉表达和细微差别方法的发展。我们欢迎并鼓励使用多种绘画材料和技术，以及一系列风格方法和主题。预计该研究生课程的候选人将在绘画实践以及历史和当代艺术背景下有透彻的基础，使他们能够在常规的个人和团体批评中获得知情和积极的参与者。费尔班克斯音乐厅和绘画馆内的私人和半私人工作室空间，以及数码设备，摄影和版画工作室以及木店的使用，为学生提供了维持生机勃勃和雄心勃勃的工作室实践的机会。
Graduate courses in painting at Indiana State University are focused on individual growth, and the development of a visually articulate and nuanced approach to the relationship between form, content, and subject. The use of diverse painting materials and techniques is welcomed and encouraged, as is a range of stylistic approaches and subjects. It is expected that candidates for the graduate program will have received a thorough grounding in painting practice, as well as historical and contemporary art contexts, enabling them to be informed and active participants in regular individual and group critiques. Private and semi-private studio spaces in Fairbanks Hall and the Painting House, as well as access to digital equipment, photography and printmaking studios, and a wood shop, provide students with the opportunity to maintain a vigorous and ambitious studio practice.
