The Art Department provides opportunities for both the potential professional practitioner and the appreciator to study in the various disciplines and media of the visual arts. The broad categories are: two-dimensional (drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and graphic design), three-dimensional (ceramics, sculpture, jewelry and metalsmithing, and fibers), digital time-based media, art history, and art education. A core of study in the foundations of the visual arts is followed by the development of skills and technical knowledge in the various media. These are prerequisite to the ultimate objective of nurturing growth in conceptual ability and creative production. The Art department’s faculty are highly qualified and dedicated teachers, who are also seriously committed to professional productivity in their respective art disciplines. The Edmund Hughes Fine Arts Center provides more than 35,000 square feet for specialized studios and opportunities for work in visual arts media.
