Overview

Key Features

The department offers two majors: studio art and art history. Students are not permitted to double-major in studio art and art history because there is significant overlap in courses required for each major.

The Department of Art offers students an exciting learning environment to practice the visual arts and study art in its historical and theoretical contexts. The faculty work to ensure all students graduate with the ability to think creatively and critically, both about the art they produce and the art they study. We are committed to helping students achieve the visual literacy essential to negotiating the world today by preparing students for careers as visual artists; for work in galleries, museums, and arts administration; and for a life enriched by the visual arts.

The Art History program from Lewis and Clark College exposes students to a wide variety of art from East Asia, Europe, and the Americas, from the ancient world to the present day. Faculty offer rigorous introductions, advanced courses in specific art-historical periods, and thematic seminars on topics including art and the environment and art history and memory.
