EDUCATIONAL GOALS FOR BFA PROGRAMS
Educational Goals: BFA, Sculpture Major
The primary educational
goals for the sculpture major are knowledge of and proficiency in sculptural
practice based on the observation of nature including the human figure and
supported by craftsmanship, individual initiative, creativity, and the ability
to interpret ideas through artistic expression.
The program
requires students to understand historical and contemporary examples of
sculpture and to integrate that knowledge into studio practice. Informed by
proficiency in life drawing, knowledge of anatomical structure, and an
understanding of three-dimensional composition, students will demonstrate their
ability to articulate forms, in the round and in relief, and to produce robust
and convincing sculptures in such modes as the figure and the portrait. Students will be competent in the use of
sculptural materials and methods of casting.
Educational Goals: BFA, Painting Major
The primary
educational goals for the painting major is knowledge of and proficiency in
painting practice based on the observation of nature including the human figure
and supported by craftsmanship, individual initiative, creativity, and the
ability to interpret ideas through artistic expression.
The program
requires students to understand historical and contemporary examples of
painting and to integrate that knowledge into studio practice. Students will
demonstrate a thorough understanding of value, color, composition and
expression through the study of anatomy, life drawing, perspective and design
and the role these elements play in conveying meaning and vivacity. Students
will be competent in the use of media such as oil, watercolor, egg tempera, and
pastel and will demonstrate through robust and substantial works proficiency in
a range of painting modes including the figure, landscape, portrait and still
life.
BFA Supporting Curriculum: Drawing
Program
The Drawing
Program supports the Painting and the Sculpture majors by developing in
students a deep understanding of the human figure and the ways in which its
representation can be convincing, vivid, and expressive. The Painting major
requires 18 credits of drawing; the Sculpture major, 12. The Drawing Program is
centered on figure drawing and its curriculum is expressed through three
categories of course work: Drawing: Observation; Drawing: Construction; and
Drawing: Languages. Through these series of courses students will acquire the
capacity to draw directly from nature, to construct a figure convincingly
through an understanding of the uses of anatomical structure, and to create
robust and substantial drawings bearing the expressive signature of the
individual student.
BFA Supporting Curriculum: Liberal Arts
Program
The Liberal Arts
program supports the Painting and Sculpture majors by developing in students a
rich understanding of the cultural, social, historical, and scientific context
of the world they will enter as arts practitioners. Courses in Liberal Arts are
taught in a logical and effective sequence that supports each student’s
intellectual development. They are designed to meet the General Education
requirements of NEASC and other relevant accreditation agencies and to be
pertinent and intellectually engaging to the developing artist. The Liberal

Students are encouraged to design pictures that are attentive to the placement of the figure in its surroundings, and to the relationship of tonal values throughout the painting. Light is studied for its effect on the large planes of the body, for the ways in which it clarifies anatomical form, and for its contribution to the richness of color which gives life to the figure. Students may work with paint or pastel. Poses will range from one to five weeks. The same model and pose are scheduled for both sessions.
Friday
Instructor:
PT270-5/370-5/470-5 FIGURE PAINTING (core elective) 1.5 credits each (intermediate to advanced)
Historically the figure has played a
central role in visual expression. As such, students of artistic practice have
struggled with various technical and aesthetic problems inherent in
representing the human form in a meaningful and competent manner. This course
is structured to address these ancient objectives in contemporary studio
practice. Students will work through various methods
and approaches to gain intentional
characterization of the figure in space. At the same time the student will
address more advanced formal strategies concerning illumination, surface
quality and color harmony. Through the advancement of craft along with formal
compositional strategies students will consider content along with their
own expressive intentions through studio instruction and critiques. Thursday

The initial focus is on, but not limited to, the study of the clothed model as sculptural form in space. Light reflecting off the various planes of the subject
are translated first into patterns of value, then into
color. Resemblance is a natural
by-product of the process. As students progress and display basic competence in
generating a recognizable image, they will be encouraged to explore the use of
social and painting conventions in making paintings that reflect more than a
subject’s physical characteristics. The
role of the portrait and its changing stature in the world of Fine Art will be
discussed. Students may work in any
medium, but oil or watercolor is reco
