Reviving a Lost Art: Gallery Displays Students’ Traditional Paintings
Graduates of the Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD) presented their final culminating artworks during a July 1 exhibition.
LCAD is one of the few art schools in the country that transmits the type of classical painting that great artists of yesteryear knew: the fundamental skills of traditional realism art. Other art schools often heavily focus on contemporary and abstract art.
“A lot of places really discourage a time-honored, traditional approach … it’s hard to get that kind of training and those sorts of skills,” Peter Zokosky, chair of master of fine arts (MFA) drawing and painting, told The Epoch Times.

Opening May 15 at the museum, Emerging Artists 2021, is open to the public in a timed entry. Reservations are required to view these diverse and highly skilled works. It s great to have a chance to spotlight these remarkable artists at a world-class museum, said Peter Zokosky, exhibition curator and chair of the MFA program in painting and drawing. Students come to LCAD because we believe that enduring art comes from a fusion of contemporary ideas and time-honored skills.
