Painting & Drawing | Bachelor’s Degree

Description

In our painting and drawing classes, we create an environment where you can explore the meaning of art and how it represents the world. We focus on the connection between what we see and how we create images. The work will challenge you to think deeply and ask important questions. We don't tell you exactly how to make your art; instead, we encourage you to find your own unique approach. We believe that learning technical skills is important, but that it is equally important to think about the meaning behind your art and how it relates to the world we live in today.

At Bennington, you design your own course of study and work, taking full advantage of the College’s resources both inside and outside the classroom. This process goes beyond the bounds of a traditional major. You identify one or more areas of interest that spark your intellectual curiosity and provide a foundation for your academic work and fieldwork, and you pursue that work with ongoing guidance from your faculty. This is your Plan.
