In this program, you can study virtually every approach to painting and drawing, from traditional oil painting to graphic novel production and 3D spatial installation. Your technical, formal and conceptual skills will be developed through focused studio production and instruction in theory, art history and cultural studies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xlarge-text\">Drawing incorporates a wide array of materials and explores gesture, mark making, the construction of visual space, as well as symbol and storytelling. In Painting classes, you will explore colour use, paint application, tools and techniques along with the formal language of painting and its use in abstract, figurative and hybrid\/expanded modes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xlarge-text\">As active professional artists engaged at both an international and local level, our faculty bring insight into the exciting and complex world of art. You will gain the ability to think creatively and critically and to materialize your ideas in visual form. These skills sets, along with the development of visual literacy and expertise, can be applied to multiple professions in the visual arts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"program-highlights parbase section\">\n<div class=\"c-grid-container\">\n<div class=\"container width940 padding-top-desktop-60px padding-bottom-desktop-60px padding-top-mobile-40px padding-bottom-mobile-30px\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-3\">\n<h2 class=\"en\">Program highlights<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"highlight col-12 col-md-9\">\n<ul>\n<li>Student-centered emphasis on finding your artists\u2019 voice, rather than following an academic model<\/li>\n<li>Each course is taught by a working artist with their own unique perspective<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-box box section\">\n<div class=\"bloc\">\n<div class=\"parsys\">\n<div class=\"reference parbase section\">\n<div class=\"cq-dd-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"c-grid-container grid-container\">\n<section class=\"black-link picturefill-container margin-top-desktop-0 margin-bottom-desktop-0 margin-top-mobile-0 margin-bottom-mobile-0\">\n<div class=\"container width940 mx-auto padding-top-desktop-60px padding-bottom-desktop-60px padding-top-mobile-60px padding-bottom-mobile-60px\">\n<div class=\"grid-container-parsys parsys\">\n<div class=\"c-offset-block section\">\n<div id=\"content_main_grid_container_695564162_grid_container_parsys_offset_block\" class=\"container-fluid offset-block-container text-offset-enabled image-offset-top\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 text-container text-align-left\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-grid-container grid-container section\">\n<section class=\"picturefill-container margin-top-desktop-0 margin-bottom-desktop-0 margin-top-mobile-0 margin-bottom-mobile-0\">\n<div class=\"container width940 mx-auto padding-top-desktop-60px padding-bottom-desktop-60px padding-top-mobile-40px padding-bottom-mobile-40px\">\n<div class=\"grid-container-parsys parsys\">\n<div class=\"c-anchor-link section\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-title title section\">\n<div class=\"section-header-wrapper\">\n<h2>Program structure<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-wysiwyg wysiwyg section\">\n<div class=\"rte\">\n<p><span class=\"xlarge-text\">A Bachelor of Fine Arts degree takes a minimum of three or four years (90 \u2013 120 credits) of full-time study,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/academics\/degrees\/program-length.html\">depending on your academic background<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Program option<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"xlarge-text\">Major in Painting and Drawing (60 credits)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-button section\">\n<div class=\"text-left\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-separator section\">\n<div class=\"c-separator--transparent\">\n<hr aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-title title section\">\n<div class=\"section-header-wrapper\">\n<h3>Courses<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-button section\">\n<div class=\"text-left\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-separator section\">\n<div class=\"c-separator--transparent\">\n<hr aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reference parbase section\">\n<div class=\"cq-dd-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"c-box box\">\n<div class=\"bloc footnote\">\n<div class=\"parsys\">\n<div class=\"c-wysiwyg wysiwyg section\">\n<div class=\"rte\">\n<p><span class=\"footnote\"><b>United States students<\/b>: A U.S. Federal Student Aid-eligible version of this program is offered.
