Facilities & Equipment

The undergraduate painting and drawing facilities at the Broad Art Center consist of five spacious studio classrooms with natural and artificial lighting and spectacular views of Los Angeles. The two Advanced Painting studios are divided into individual work spaces, providing upper-division undergraduates with an opportunity to work in their own studio spaces for an entire quarter. Six individual senior studio spaces are also awarded annually by a portfolio review. Facilities include a library, a Wood Shop for building stretcher bars, and a Printmaking Studio.

Instructional Materials Fee

All students must pay an instructional materials fee each quarter they are enrolled in Printmaking. As of April 2024, the fee is $75 and is payable to UC Regents. The fee supports access to polishing and rubbing compounds, asphaltum, grounds, lacquer thinner, application brushes, community tools, mineral spirits, cleaners, talc, and methyl cellulose. There is an additional $20 fee for access to use the Painting and Drawing woodshop.
