Painting and DrawingThe West Virginia Wesleyan College Painting and Drawing curriculum focuses on both traditional and contemporary practices. Our courses explore a wide range of media, building formal, technical, and conceptual skills while supporting the development of the student’s artistic voice. As students progress through the Painting and Drawing program, they work more intensely on that vision and build strong and consistent bodies of work. Both the Advanced painting classes and the Senior Seminar are introspective and help students to develop connections within their imagery. Painters are required to take Senior Seminars I and II as the culmination of their experience at The final year of study demands self-motivation and self-awareness as students embark upon enriching careers as visual artists. Many of our students who graduate from the painting and drawing program have been accepted and are attending some of the strongest graduate painting programs in the The quality of the faculty–student interaction enables students to fully experience what it means to be an artist and painter while establishing distinctive, original, and personal forms of expression.

Students are given the skills to master their crafts and the intellectual capacity to adapt to an increasingly dynamic and demanding discipline. The program is geared to develop the student’s technical expertise and conceptual sophistication. Students learn their craft on industry standard software and equipment, but will be able to change and adapt when systems and ideas evolve. This comes from context. When individuals can perceive their position in society and history, they can better predict where they need to be in order to succeed. The graphic design curriculum, coupled with the liberal arts education at WVWC, provides this context. As a result, the graduates of WVWC’s Department of Art and Design are innovative, resourceful, and critically thinking designers with a strong sense of purpose in the world. Many of our designers enter the work force immediately after graduation. Our students work as designers, illustrators, and web designers for design firms, college and university marketing departments, newspapers and magazines nationally.
