Art & Art History Program
Studio Art
The studio program, encompassing instruction in the principles of two- and three-dimensional art, puts the student in direct contact with artistic thinking, with its mixture of disciplined technical and formal decision making, and open ended, inventive experimentation. Areas of special emphasis are drawing and painting, ceramics and sculpture, and graphics and photography, each of which poses its own challenges and provides its own remarkable satisfactions.

Eleven courses including 101, 102; one course in Renaissance Art, either 300 or 301; one course in 20th-century Art, either 314 or 315; 122; either 222 or 230; 410 (including submission of position paper and portfolio for graduation); and four additional studio courses, including one at the advanced level, and at least one three-dimensional course.
