The Visual Arts Department offers all students
a means of expressing their ideas visually by providing
instruction at a variety of skill levels, resources to inspire
projects, and facilities that enable students to realize
their vision.
All faculty teach basic techniques and encourage individual
student initiative. In beginning level classes, students
complete assignments designed to increase their technical
skill. As students become more skilled, they gradually encounter
more choices to design, execute and exhibit projects. They
work independently, conferring with teachers when necessary
and watching pertinent group demonstrations. Students may
elect to be graded on a pass/fail basis in visual arts minor
courses.
