The University of Alaska Fairbanks offers a BFA in Painting that serves as a core element of our studio foundations curriculum, allowing undergraduates to specialize in this artistic field. Participants in the program build essential technical proficiency across various mediums including acrylics, oils, encaustics, watercolors, and mixed media. The curriculum prioritizes helping students cultivate their unique artistic perspectives while honing critical thinking skills to effectively articulate their creative visions to fellow artists and broader audiences. The program concludes with a thesis exhibition showcasing the student's work, supported by a written thesis that contextualizes the exhibition's themes and artistic methodologies.
