PAINTING

AT UWRF

Dr. Peter Mak heads the painting department at the University of Wisconsin River Falls.  He received his Doctor of Fine Arts degree in painting and digital images from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Australia in 2004. He has also earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting and Drawing from the School of Art at Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona in1986. He has also earned a Master of Arts degree from City Polytechnic University of Hong Kong in1994 and received his undergraduae degree in art from Valley City State College in Valley City North Dakota.

Currently, there are two painting classes offered at UWRF, Intro to Painting and the Studio class.  Intro is primarily acrylic painting and they cover all the basic "categories" of painting such as still life, landscape, and figure.  The class is structured to work for interpretation; as the semester progresses so does the level of self-direction.  Studio painting is a continuation of Intro, but it is more self-directed and includes other painting media like oil and watercolor. Studio painting classes may be repeated for additional experience.
