Studio Art Painting - East Tennessee State University

Studio Art Painting from East Tennessee State University is a Campus Bachelor Painting degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The painting program at ETSU is rooted in the notion that the practice of art-making is the most successful when there is a balance between form and content. To that end, painting courses emphasize technical fluency, problem-solving and experimentation in both traditional and alternative media. Investigation into contemporary theory and practices in painting is ongoing in the form of regular critiques and discussions. As students progress through the program, it becomes more and more important that they develop their own voice. Program At the introductory level, a variety of observation-based exercises are offered as a means of developing a deeper understanding of relational color, composition, and spatial dynamics of the picture plane. Other courses expand to include a variety of media such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, and encaustic, collage, and alternative materials. Students have the freedom to work with a range of approaches-- from figuration and representation to non-objective and intuitive. Throughout the painting program, the work of historical and contemporary artists is introduced and discussed. Students are encouraged to do ongoing visual research outside of their studio work, with a particular emphasis on artist???s work with which they feel an affinity. Our students learn to actively inform themselves about what is happening in the world both within and outside of artistic spheres. View more details on East Tennessee State University .
