Painting & Drawing Undergraduate Overview
With up to 80 courses offered in the Department of Painting and Drawing, it’s clear why the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) is one of the leading schools for painting and drawing in the country. Students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in fine arts have the choice, freedom, and openness to design a painting and drawing curriculum tailored to their creative needs. Through rigorous course studies, students develop the skills and conceptual foundations necessary for a sustainable art practice.
One of the Best Painting Schools in the US
The department’s unique and experimental approach to learning challenges students to explore a wide variety of courses designed to help them grow as artists.
Courses include:
1. Painting Practice Classes: This is an introductory prerequisite course for all other painting classes. It is taught by a variety of faculty, each with their own unique teaching style. Students learn the fundamentals of painting with a strong emphasis on developing proficiency with fundamental formal and material processes. Students also become familiar with various forms of visual and critical engagement in order to catalyze their conceptual development.
2. Painting Studio: Multi-Level Classes: These classes offer a fertile environment for the development of individual practice while advancing technical skill. General sections are open to students who have completed Painting Practice. Advanced, topic-based sections are also available. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- The Abstract Image
- Cheap TV
- Conceptual Approach
- The Dream
- Exploding Paint
- Expressionism
- Funny Painting
- Painting after Painting
3. Studio Drawing: Multi-Level Classes: Taught by a diverse group of faculty who approach drawing with critical rigor, students learn and develop drawing fundamentals. They also explore experimental, narrative, and conceptual approaches with different media. General sections, as well as specialized, topic-based sections are available without prerequisite course requirements. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Wild Combination
- Mixed Media
- Abstraction/Representation
- Ink Painting: the Brush of Zen
- Large Format Painting
- Collage: Concepts and Techniques
- Landscape Narratives
In addition to fundamental skill-building courses, undergraduate students are encouraged to explore drawing and painting courses in areas that drive their practice forward. These include figure drawing and painting, materials and techniques, comics, and more.
Figure Drawing and Painting Classes
Dedicated to the study of the body, these classes prioritize various approaches to the line, shape, volume, and anatomy of the human form. Approaches range from perceptually traditional to radically conceptual. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Anatomy
- Figures in Space
- Large Format
- The Portrait
- Advanced: Inside and Out
- Advanced: Narrative Figuration
- Advanced: Photo to Memory
Materials and Techniques Classes
These courses in painting, offered in our new state-of-the-art StudioLab, focus on the production, preparation, and application of various traditional and contemporary paint systems. Students have the opportunity to make their own paints and drawing materials, such as:
- Egg tempera
- Gesso
- Casein
- Encaustic
- Oil paint
- Advanced acrylic processes
- Silverpoint
- Conte-crayon
- Walnut ink
Students are also encouraged to develop their own material processes and recipes.
Comics Classes
These courses are taught in classrooms dedicated to the specific needs of comic production. They cover aspects of narrative development, cell layout, illustration, zine creation, and a variety of other approaches. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Autobiography
- Advanced Comics
- Capstone: Publish or Perish
- Cartooning the Figure
- Drawing Outside the Boxes
- Independent Comics
Sophomore Seminars, Professional Practices, and Senior Capstone Classes
The Academic Spine is a required three-course sequence for all undergraduate degrees. The three courses provide a structure of peer support and intensive faculty mentoring as students navigate SAIC’s open curriculum. Learn more about the Academic Spine.
Advanced Painting Studio: Each semester, advanced students can apply to one of two sections of Advanced Painting Studio. Students share dedicated, private studio spaces from one to three consecutive semesters, working with faculty members three days per week. In many ways, this highly competitive course begins to approach the intensity of a graduate program, requiring dedicated independent studio practice and rigorous conceptual development.
Summer Institute: Painting Residency/Drawing Residency: These three-week summer intensives are taught in the Advanced Painting studios. Offering a residency experience, students are provided with an individual studio space and instruction from two faculty members. While studio practice is primary, topical lectures and periodic visits to the Art Institute of Chicago are a consistent attribute of the course.
Work by Painting & Drawing Students
Students have a variety of opportunities to exhibit their work, including in the fall and spring undergraduate and graduate exhibitions celebrating the culminating work of graduating students.

Description
For over a century, illustrators have used the comics medium to document current events and disseminate information, but due to globalization, the ascent of the graphic novel and the birth of the internet, the practice is now more vital than ever. From global conflicts to cultural events, cartoonists are documenting the defining moments of our era as they happen, and are creating works that help readers comprehend the complex historical, political and cultural forces shaping our world. In this class, students will read classic works of graphic journalism, learn best practices for artists in the field, and create their own short works that explore various aspects of contemporary life in Chicago and beyond.

Description
This studio course will provide a hands-on introduction to the fundamental understanding and use of color. Students will gain practical experience working with material color in order to improve their understanding of how color works. Assignments will be introduced in class to help students develop a working knowledge of the basic concepts of hue, value, and chroma, and the relationship between these concepts and those of color harmony and organization. By working with color in context students will gain a practical understanding of color interaction and develop strategies for approaching color with greater sophistication and specificity in their own practice.
In addition to our investigations with color in the classroom, this course will examine the ways in which artists and scholars have worked with color art historically as a medium of expression, and thought about color scientifically as an index of an underlying natural order, as well as culturally as a system of signs reflecting our biases back to us to be interpreted. Reliable perceptual phenomena like simultaneous contrast and afterimages will be considered alongside more unstable notions like synesthesia and color music, as well as the complicated history of thinking about color as evidence of that which is ?other.? Course work will include exercises to help students develop their approach to color, and a final project in which they put their understanding to work. |

| Fig Draw: Adv Draw Inside/Out | 2031 (001) | Anne Harris | Tues
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person |
Description
This course will concentrate on drawing the figure with an emphasis on sculptural form. The objective will be to use drawing?particularly line?to investigate the body three-dimensionally. You will work from the inside out, drawing internal volume and topography, rather than an outside edge.
The goal will be to rotate the body and move it through space, to understand its basic structure and movement and, through that understanding, to learn about drawing as a tool for investigation, a way of exploring and structuring space, weight, and form. By semester's end you will be able to invent a body in space. This ability is key to the tradition of figurative art found in artists ranging from Peter Paul Rubens to Kerry James Marshall and Nicole Eisenman. Throughout the course we will be looking at and learning from a range of figurative artists, both historical and contemporary, via lectures and visits to the museum, including the AIC?s Prints and Drawings viewing room. This is a highly structured course, akin to an intensive workshop. New information will be introduced every class. There will be regular outside assignments. PrerequisitesPrerequisite: PTDW 2030. |

| Std Draw:Large Format | 2040 (002) | Steven Husby | Mon
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person |
Description
How big is big? Does the size of a drawing alter our ideas of what we?re about while we?re producing it? How do relationships of internal scale alter our sense of the surrounding space, and how do the sizes of the materials and the support alter our own awareness of scale? In this course we will explore the potential for large format drawing in the perceptual, material, narrative and conceptual senses. We will work towards expanding notions of Large, Format, Studio and Drawing. We will work towards specificity and developing each student's individual concerns. Bring your ambition, you'll need it.
Most time in class will be spent working on studio projects, which will be supplemented by museum visits, slide lectures, student led reading discussions and presentations, and in depth critique. Readings and artists looked at will vary, but will typically include texts which attempt a broad overview of the state of drawing within the field of contemporary art like Vitamin D2 and Drawing Now: Eight Propositions, and include contemporary artists working with drawing at ambitious scale such as Toba Khedoori, Amy Sillman, and William Kentridge, and more historical examples like Willem de Kooning, Cy Twombly, Lee Krasner, and Jasper Johns. There will be a long form mid-term critique and a shorter final critique. Students will be expected to complete multiple large scale works for each. |

| Studio Drawing: Collage | 2040 (007) | Delano Dunn | Tues
3:30 PM - 9:15 PM In Person |
Description
In the early 20th century, Max Ernst coined the phrase ?collage thinking? to describe the burst of innovation taking place in his studio and among fellow artists. Learn the techniques of the ?collage mind? as well as the historical view of creative reassembling as it appears before the 20th century and throughout art history.
This multi-level studio will cover all of the various traditional methods of assembling cut paper into a complete work of art. Additionally, we will touch upon the use of unorthodox materials for 2-D assemblage, movable art and bas-relief. Individual as well as group instruction will provide a flexible educational environment, accommodating both the novice and accomplished collagist. Examples from the rich history of collage will be shown and reinforced by field trips to related exhibitions. The class will review historic and contemporary approaches to collage through lectures, demonstrations and bi-weekly visits to the Ryerson Library in order to study reference images. The history and use of the demonstrated collage methods will form the foundation of six class assignments, ending with a final independent project. Mid-term and final group critiques provide valuable feedback. The successful student will acquire a thorough knowledge of all existing analog collage techniques, appropriate glues and adhesives and suitable supports. |

9:00 AM - 3:00 PM In Person |
Description
This studio class will be an exploration of the premise that all paintings are abstract. Whether an image is found and formed from observation or imagination, that image is ultimately an abstraction of its source. We will address issues of Abstraction, Representation, and Conceptualism. Shape, color, composition and intent--no matter what the image--will be the class's focus.
This is a studio class. There will be no readings. Examples of other artist work will be given in response to the individual student's work. Every assignment is based on the students own work. All the assignments are surprises. The students will work a lot, some make more work than others. PrerequisitesPrerequisite: PTDW 3001, 3003 or 3030 |
