Overview

In whichever art emphasis area you choose, you’ll start with basic techniques and theory at the lower levels of study and progress to considerable freedom of personal expression at higher levels of study. Close mentoring and guidance by faculty throughout the entire course of the program is a priority as you build your own portfolio, all in exceptional facilities including studio labs, chemical darkrooms, woodworking shops and individual studios.If drawing and painting is your focus, you’ll hone your skills in a variety of media, developing increasingly complex and accomplished work. In the graphic design emphasis, you’ll explore the complexities of typography, visual relationships and composition in real-world context. If you choose Art Education, you’ll work closely with faculty in both the Art and Education Departments to refine your creativity and classroom management skills.
