The art curriculum is a foundation program for both studio art and art history. It provides training for students with professional promise in addition to students who desire art as an avocation. All of the faculty members are flourishing professional artists whose career insights enrich their teaching. The department maintains an active program of professional art exhibits and student exhibits throughout each academic year. Off-campus experiences include field trips to art museums and other artistic destinations in the region. The art curriculum involves balance between art history and art studio; in the latter, there is strength in both traditional hand media (drawing, sculpture, and painting) and in digital coursework (photography and graphics).
