Bachelor [Fine Arts - Painting] From University of Massachusetts

The BFA is a professional degree with concentrated areas of specialization, so students will take more art courses  than they would in a BA program. At UMass Dartmouth, students also have the advantages of a university education where they can diversify their studies and expand their career opportunities.

As a painting student, students learn fundamental skills and contemporary practices through a wide spectrum of course offerings such as:

• form
• color & space
• the human figure
• concept-development
• mixed media
• abstraction
• time-based media
• installation

You'll develop cross-disciplinary sensitivity?with the possibility of combining painting with printmaking, photography, digital media, textiles, and other disciplines in contemporary art making. You'll also be able to explore fields across the university, such as business, engineering, and science.
