The Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture Department emphasizes artmaking as an ongoing discipline rooted in rich history. We provide our students with a rigorous experience of the disciplines of drawing, painting, and sculpture. This experience ranges through the aesthetic, the technical, and the well-formed idea. We are committed to providing our students with the understanding of the broad cultural and historical context in which art is made and experienced.

The Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture Department has a weekly schedule of visiting lectures. Our lectures include practicing studio artists, museum curators, and critics, all of national standing. Special effort is made to put the visiting artist in contact with our graduate students.

Tyler's Painting and Drawing program provides the skills and concepts essential to artistic growth.  The faculty has designed studio and seminar courses that foster the development of pictorial concepts realized in the tangible form of painting and drawing.

The course offerings range from Figure Drawing to Senior Painting Studio, a capstone course for Painting majors.  Advanced level courses offer a range of technical, topic, and theory based exposures to contemporary approaches to painting.  The faculty advises each student to participate in a variety of studio experiences to facilitate the integration of technique with personal vision.
