Bachelor of Arts in Painting and Drawing

Program Overview

Painting and Drawing

What does it mean to be a practicing and successful contemporary painter today? The answer to this question continues to evolve. The Painting and Drawing Program at Rutgers–Camden prides itself on regularly updating the program, assuring continued student success in the world at large. The painting faculty, diverse in their areas of specialization, are successful practicing artists who are committed to preparing students to become professional practitioners.

Within a dynamic laboratory-like setting that encourages interdisciplinary and hands-on investigations, students are offered many options. Based on the understanding that painting as a medium has a rich historical lineage, students are introduced to and expected to develop a solid working knowledge of traditional as well as contemporary painting and drawing techniques. One of the main goals of the painting program is to achieve creative and critical thinking skills. All majors in their senior year are required to complete a capstone project, a self-directed body of work that will be exhibited in the Stedman Art Gallery.

Our program offers student-run activities, including the Art Students League and the Student Works Gallery. These university-supported organizations coordinate many activities, including trips to museums in New York City and Washington D.C. Through this rigorous creative exploration in a liberal arts university setting, students are fully prepared to attain advanced degrees in studio-art programs, art-therapy, conservation, public and community art, as well as entering professional and creative fields of practice.
