The major in Art seeks to provide students with a solid foundation in traditional studio methods and materials. The 24 semester hour foundation sequence exposes students to a wide variety of studio experiences, introducing basic skills and approaches in an orderly fashion. From the Foundation Sequence students select upper level studios in which they will develop their own personal style and expression. Through a required yearlong study of Art History, students are grounded in the development of artistic vision, and are able to identify their own artistic influences.
