The Painting major at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program that focuses on developing students’ artistic skills, creative expression, and visual literacy in the medium of painting. The curriculum combines rigorous studio practice with theoretical study, guiding students through foundational techniques such as drawing, colour theory, composition, perspective, and the use of various painting media (including oil, acrylic, and watercolor). Students also study art history, visual aesthetics, and contemporary artistic trends to deepen their understanding of painting within cultural and historical contexts. Emphasis is placed on both technical mastery and individual creative development, with regular critiques, portfolio work, and exhibition opportunities helping students refine their artistic voice. Graduates are well prepared for careers as professional painters, visual artists, art educators, gallery curators, and creative professionals, as well as for further study in fine arts and related artistic disciplines.
