About the course

The Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art allows students to explore a studio area or areas of interest, including ceramics, metals and jewelry design, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture, allowing students to create a hybrid experience as they apply their artistic interests ? and aspects of their broader liberal arts education ? to a contemporary studio art practice. The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art has six different concentration choices for students: ceramics, metals, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Students pursuing a B.A. in Studio Art become fluent in the practice of visual arts. Students will gain critical and analytical thinking skills, as well as conceptual rigor, technical expertise, and methods as a means to explore intellectual and human experience through visual arts modes. Students pursuing a B.F.A. in Studio Art will choose in-depth study in one or more studio areas, learn traditional areas of artistic craftsmanship as well as innovative trends and technologies, and develop a professional portfolio for their career or post-graduate study. (Students cannot earn both the BA in Studio Art and the BFA in Studio Art.)

　　Our studio art graduates seek careers in many areas. Some become professional artists, such as art directors, web designers, illustrators, graphic designers, photographers, printmakers, painters, sculptors, metalsmiths, and ceramists. Graduates may also go on to graduate school to prepare them to be university faculty, private-sector teachers, art therapists, gallery directors, museum curators, or art critics.

　　If you are interested in a career as a painter, our program introduces you to the various materials and issues related to the process of painting. You will learn to engage the fundamental formal syntaxes of traditional painting through such resources as still life, landscape, and human figure. You are presented with current ideas and images important for understanding form and content in the visual arts. Painting is understood as both a traditional context and an extension of procedures and practices to a wide variety of art structures. Our program is taught by a faculty of professional exhibiting artists who bring diverse points of view to the education of the young artist. One-on-one instruction is provided with on-going intensive group and individual critiques. As you advance through the program, increased emphasis is placed on the development of personal points of view and subsequent subject content. Post-graduate study, museum and gallery work, competition, and exhibiting possibilities await you upon graduation. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
