Studio Art
Undergraduate Program
Studio art courses offer students an opportunity to engage in the study and practice of visual language. The learning of artistic methods and media is embedded in intellectual inquiry and critical analysis, so that the study of studio art serves as a meaningful focus of a liberal-arts education. Art is seen as a means of communicating human experience; therefore students learn to “read” images and to visually represent their own ideas. Areas of specialization within studio art include drawing, painting, graphic design, photography, printmaking, sculpture and video production, as well as interdisciplinary work within the major or between studio art and other academic disciplines. In addition to course offerings, students may participate in internships for credit on or off campus. There are also regular exhibitions of contemporary art on campus, course-related field trips to museums and galleries, and artist lectures. Some additional art courses may be taken through COPACE for credit toward the major.
