Our classes provide a richly creative and informative environment, with lots of personal attention. The University of Maine Department of Art Studio Program offers the B.A. and B.F.A. degrees in the lively context of a liberal arts education. The program has a great teacher-to-student ratio, providing students individual attention. The studio faculty are all active professionals, strongly committed to effective teaching. Fully engaged in their own creative research, the faculty also have an outstanding record of exhibiting their work in prestigious local, national and international venues. The emphasis of the Studio Art Program is creative work in the areas of: Drawing and Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, Digital Art.<br><br>Diverse career opportunities exist for Department of Art graduates. The degrees offered prepare students for a wide range of vocational choices inside as well as outside the field of art. They also provide a solid foundation for those choosing to go on for graduate study. Many graduates of the Department of Art have developed careers in different aspects of Studio Art, Art Education and Art History, including graphic design, fashion design, museum administration, arts administration, and multi-media.<br><br>Drawing is seen as a fundamental skill that is both an expressive end in itself and a means of direct visual thinking and planning. Students are introduced to traditional media such as pencil, charcoal, conte crayon and ink. After a basic foundation of demonstrated understanding is established students are encouraged to develop an expanded expressive vocabulary through experimentation with materials and discovery of strong personal thematic and technical preferences. Class assignments range from the structure of teacher-directed work to the freedom of student-initiated projects designed to develop independent and personal creative thinking.<br><br>After completing courses in Two-dimensional Design, Three-dimensional Design, Drawing I, and Drawing II, students can take Painting I. This is a vigorous introduction to basic painting skills including, expressive characteristics of various water-based paints, expressive use of color, effective composition and design, and rendering convincing form. Painters can use acrylic paint, water-soluble oil paint, and other water-based media. The advanced painting courses help students to make the transition from teacher-directed projects to individual, personal initiatives that allow for more experimentation and the development of personal creative directions.
