The
painting program at IU Southeast provides experience in both acrylic
and oil painting techniques. Painting students at IU Southeast develop
the ability to manipulate spatial and expressive qualities in their
work through paint application, color, and drawing. Students are also
encouraged to explore representation, abstraction, and experimental
image-making and techniques. The resident faculty member in painting
has an extensive background in traditional and modern painting techniques.
Students in the program learn traditional skills involving surface preparation
and glazing, as well as more recent techniques involving acrylics or
other twentieth and twenty-first century materials. Painting is one
of the oldest mediums in the visual arts and is still considered one
of the cornerstones of an artists education.
