Painting Schools
Earn Your Degree in Painting

What are Painting Schools?
Painting schools provide the training and education you need to learn various aspects of painting. Painting schools focus on drawing and painting techniques, and some may also teach topics beyond painting's technical skills, such as history or theory classes. Many colleges offer part-time classes, which may suit the needs of students interested in pursuing a painting career or those who wish to learn a new hobby.
What Can Your Learn From Painting Schools?
Painting schools offer a variety of courses for you to learn how to succeed as a painter. Your coursework may include:
- Basic Drawing
- Color Theory
- Figure Painting
- Oil Media
- Perspective
- Space and Form
- Still Life
- Water Media
While well-trained painters are comfortable using a variety of techniques, many specialize in one or two, such as oil painting or water color, that best suit their artistic style.
Painting Career Paths
After earning your new degree or certificate in painting, many career opportunities may exist. Some painters choose to focus in one, or several different areas of painting. Choose a career in painting and specialize as an:
- Artist
- Cartoonist
- Computer Animator
- Illustrator
- Interior Decorator
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts strong competition for jobs in the arts, so formal training may enhance your resume and boost your job prospects. Many painters are self-employed or work on contract, so you can have a great deal of flexibility in your hours. Illustrators who work for media companies are more likely to be salaried.
