Thesis work by Lilian Camio

Master Artist Program students

Master Artist Program students are trained how to draw accurately, understand color, and control paint at its highest level. The results, even for the absolute beginner, are nothing short of breathtaking. Once technical skill has been mastered we turn our focus to deep and relevant conceptual meaning for our work. Our goal is to emerge at the conclusion of the program as fully formed artists. In just 3 years of part-time study these students will have covered what it takes most university students 6 years to achieve. See for yourself...
