The Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture Department emphasizes art making as an ongoing discipline rooted in rich history. We provide our students with a rigorous experience of the disciplines of drawing, painting, and sculpture. This experience ranges through the aesthetic, the technical, and the well-formed idea. We are committed to providing our students with the understanding of the broad cultural and historical context in which art is made and experienced.
The Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture Department has a weekly schedule of visiting lectures. Our lectures include practicing studio artists, museum curators, and critics, all of national standing.

Tyler's Painting and Drawing program provides the skills and concepts
essential to artistic growth. The faculty has designed studio and seminar
courses that foster the development of pictorial concepts realized in the
tangible form of painting and drawing.
The courses offer a range of both genre-based courses and advanced level
courses. Upper level courses cover technical, formal, topical, and theory
based issues. An extensive range of approaches will be presented in the
context of both historical precedent and contemporary practice. The faculty
advises each student to participate in a variety of studio experiences to facilitate the integration of technique with personal vision.

The Sculpture Program provides the skills and concepts essential to creative growth. Courses are designed to integrate the development of technical skills with critical discourse and theory, and knowledge of contemporary sculpture. Students are encouraged to explore a broad range of sculptural strategies through studio courses including installation, sound, video, robotics, public art, and wood and metal fabrication. All courses provide intensive studio experience and intense critical dialogue combined with exhibition opportunities and field trips. The sculpture area includes a metal shop, wood shop, plaster and mold making facilities, a small sound studio and individual studios for undergraduate majors and for graduate sculpture students.
