Overview

Rooted in creative and critical thinking, we equip Denison University students to consider their relationship with the world of images and ideas and challenge them to make work that responds and establishes their art-making voice.

Denison’s Studio Art program is unique

Our Studio Art program expands the boundaries of what art ‘is’. We emphasize art-making as a means to thinking not only about oneself, but also about one’s relationship to the world of ideas from multiple perspectives. Studio artists gain the knowledge and skills to use art as a way of responding to the constantly changing world.

Pick your path:

Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree often double major, finding ways to make connections between the subject matter in their other major and their studio practice.

We are also proud to offer a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree which allows students to focus with rigor on their practice with a year of dedicated research, culminating in a solo show and thesis.

Our students work one-on-one with visiting artists. Professional artists, brought to campus through the Vail Visiting Artist Series, offer inspiration and exposure to a diversity of practices through talks, workshops and demonstrations. Visiting artists even meet one-on-one with studio art majors in practicum classes to respond to their work and provide new insights. Our majors are also mentored by artists and designers through the unique Columbus Creative in Residence initiative, designed to show how creatives can make their way in the world.

Our home in the Bryant Arts Center provides a top-tier facility with a wealth of equipment for art-making. From our kilns and welding tools to our dark room and woodshop, our students have an unlimited ability to create.
