Program Overview
Studio Art
Our courses for studio art majors will enhance students’ awareness of and sensitivity to the visual arts through engaging in the actual intellectual and technical processes by which works of art come into being. Studio art majors learn to understand the world in visual terms and to conceptualize their ideas through their own work.
