The Painting program at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville embraces both freedom and discipline. Students explore a broad spectrum of media, methods, and conceptual approaches in order to develop their unique strengths and find their creative direction. Our program begins with a strong foundation in the tradition of oil painting to build proficiency in the formal skills of painting including: spatial representation, building form with mark, and the understanding of color relationships. While many of the faculty teach in both Painting and Drawing, we are committed to the unique possibilities of these mediums, and offer focused study in either Painting or Drawing at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
