Majors in Art and Fine Arts
The majors in art and fine arts provide a sequence of courses through which the students learn to master the fundamentals of visual communication and various media and tools. Historical and contemporary aesthetic ideas, both western and non-western, are explored in the studio classes and in art history. With these skills the students are directed by the faculty in the search for form and personal discovery within their artistic discipline.
In the BA program the student majors in art with no concentration.
