绘画区致力于创造过程既涉及当代国际世界的艺术意识，又涉及其文化意义的层级，以及反动作品的创作，而作品的解释则是对该世界的评论。在基础级别，我们教授必要的形式化二维设计要素。在中级水平上，我们添加了有关绘画的历史背景和实验的学术和现代/后现代理论。在高级水平上，我们提供有指导的指导，以便学生可以培养认真认真的专业工作体系。我们的研究生导师成功地将高级本科生思维的参数推向更多的智力思考和概念性评述，帮助增强学生的正式和技术技能，并在艺术界和专业领域为职业艺术家提供职业培训方面的有力指导作为潜在的学术工作室讲师
The Painting and Drawing Area is dedicated to the idea that the creative process involves both an artistic consciousness of the contemporary international world and its layers of cultural significance and the making of reactionary work which, in its interpretation, comments upon that world. At the foundational level, we teach the necessary formal two-dimensional elements of design. At the intermediate level, we add academic and modern/postmodern theories concerning the historical context and experimentation of painting and drawing. At the advanced level, we give guided instruction so that students may produce a serious and competent professional body of work. Our graduate instructors successfully push the parameters of the advanced undergraduate thinking into more intellectual reflection and conceptual commentary, help strengthen students' formal and technical skills, and give strong guidance in career training as professional artists in the art world and as potential academic studio instructors.
