Painting Certificate

In the Painting Certificate, students develop the skills and conceptual foundation necessary to cultivate their art practice, drawing inspiration and context from SAIC’s many resources, including the Art Institute of Chicago, an encyclopedic museum that encompasses more than 5,000 years of creative expression from cultures around the world.

Painting Certificate students are required to complete a total of 6 required courses. The 6 required courses are:

• Four 30-hour Studio Courses under Certificate Painting at continuingstudies.saic.edu

• One 20- to 30-hour course under CS Art History at continuingstudies.saic.edu

  • 1. 1. 1. • Please note all of the Art History Courses offered are not all 30-hour courses. 

• One 30-hour Elective. All 30-hour Adult Continuing Education courses are eligible electives for all certificates, including 1-week and 2-weekend intensives

Students can keep track of certificate requirements as they move through their individualized program using our Painting Certificate Curriculum Guide.
