Dr. Millington is Professor in the Department of Fine Arts and the School of Education, where he teaches primarily drawing, painting, collage; and the methods for the teaching of the arts to aspiring teachers. In 1988, he earned a BA (Fine Arts) from Bishops University, wherein his ongoing love for learning and teaching was instilled. In 1990, he earned an MFA from the Université du Québec à Montréal, with a specialization in drawing and painting. After many years of teaching at Dawson College, Bishop's University, and Champlain College, as well as exhibiting as a professional artist, Millington managed to synthesize these two passions and earned a Ph.D in Art Education from Concordia University in 2000. He joined Bishop's as a full-time faculty member in 2006. His interests are in the ongoing development of visual research in the studio and an ongoing examination of how students learn in the art studio environment.
