Drawing
and painting classes at Berry provide students with a substantial
introduction to modes of representation, traditional and modern
techniques, and aesthetic awareness. These areas challenge students
to develop critical skills to hone and advance their personal vision.
As the principles of drawing are common to all visual disciplines,
Beginning Drawing is a core requirement for all art majors regardless
of concentration. Figure Drawing provides students with a thorough
investigation of the figure by working from live models, muscle
plates, and skeletons.
Drawing is a primary component of painting and is utilized in Beginning
Painting via issues such as composition and extended through basic
painting skills and color theory. Students further their technical
skills in painting and develop a personal style in Intermediate
through Advanced Painting.
While both drawing and painting are potential disciplines to be
utilized for a student's Senior Thesis, they can also be used as
stepping stones to other means of plastic expression, or as a unique
elective in a student's general education.
