Course Information

The B.A. in studio art is designed for students who seek a breadth of knowledge in the visual arts and who have an interest or background in the humanities and foreign language. The studio art faculty is made up of practicing artists who work closely with the students, and students also work closely with each other as they develop their studio practice. Visiting artists and scholars, workshops, field trips and frequent on-campus exhibitions of professional artwork enhance student engagement with contemporary art. Additionally, students have opportunities to exhibit and present their artwork, to assist in running on-campus galleries and studio art labs and to partake in other hands-on art experiences.

Students graduating with a B.A. in Studio Art will:

Display technical command of at least one medium and display fluency in a range of media.
Effectively analyze and apply two- and three-dimensional design principles and devices
Develop an independent line of creative inquiry that embraces risk-taking and inventive solutions
Knowledgeably critique and contextualize their artwork to cultivate expressive ideas and meaningful content
Demonstrate awareness of contemporary art and art history within a global context
