The Art & Design Concentration introduces students to processes of design thinking, critical discussion and fundamentals of visual communication. With an emphasis on 2D, 3D and emergent art media, students will gain a working knowledge of drawing, painting, digital media, design and photography. Following 2-3 semesters of study, faculty advisors work with students to design a coherent course of study, with focus in at least one area. Through hands-on studio courses, as well as art historical research, students will conclude their studies with a focused senior project and demonstrate a critical understanding of historical and contemporary art practice.
