Art & Art History

The Department of Art offers to the student, regardless of experience or major, the opportunity to develop a ‘sensitivity’ to visual language through studio work and the study of the history of art. The department requires a balanced program in studio and art history that may be augmented to suit students’ particular interests and needs.
