The mission of KCAD’s MFA Painting program is to produce students who are able to demonstrate technical, material, and conceptual mastery in the execution of their work, while also providing opportunities for experimentation. The painting program fosters creativity, innovation, responsibility, and intellectual growth in preparing students to meet the challenges pursuant to a successful career within higher education or the broader art community. A diverse painting faculty is available to students for formal, technical and critical insight. Students are introduced within the program to the growing repository of art-related theory through challenging fine art and art history seminars, addressing such issues as the ethics of visual representation, politics and art, and Post Structural theory. Additionally, students have access to courses regarding the more practical aspects of being an artist, including a seminar on teaching techniques and methodology, and a course dealing with the professional practices of the art world at large.
