Bachelor of Fine Art in Fine Art (Visual Art) - Drawing and Painting [General]

Queen's University

The Painting and Drawing area at Queen's University embraces an interdisciplinary approach to artistic creation. Students are asked to examine the importance of their practice within the greater context of the fine arts.The beginning courses in painting and drawing cover issues such as composition, colour theory, observational studies, and the development of ideas. As they move through the program, each student is encouraged to find her/his own voice and to develop an individual approach to making art.Advanced painting courses are designed to help students build a cohesive body of work that is structured on the foundations learned in the beginning classes. Frequent individual and group critiques enable students to work closely with the faculty. Peer-based interaction and collaboration provide our art majors with the skills needed to communicate and strengthen their ideas.
