Through contemporary and historic case studies, this major has a strong studio-based focus, exploring a diverse range of two and three dimensional materials and techniques, including drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture. It provides opportunities for students to experiment with ideas in and outside of the studios, learn to reflexively critique artworks, and create a portfolio of their own work. Students examine the works of renowned artists and writers about art, culture and place. With the support of professional artists on staff, students learn to develop original artworks in a variety of media that reflect their personal and community interests, identities, and creative aspirations.
