Visual Arts

In the Visual Arts discipline, students will develop their facility with the techniques and processes of art as a means of expressing emotions and conceptual ideas. Although students may concentrate in one medium, students will be encouraged to explore artistic forms. The program is designed so that students will develop a portfolio and artist statement that they can use in the college application process either for B.F.A. visual arts programs or as supplemental materials.
