The Art Program is a dynamic interaction of creativity, instruction, and experimentation. The program offers an intensive examination of fundamental principles in visual phenomenon coupled with a wide exposure to various techniques and media, tempered by an environment designed to encourage creative expression and experimentation.

The individual’s inclinations and needs are considered in forming a program of study best suited to his/her tasks: those of utilizing technical skills, knowledge, and intuition to create an effective visual statement. The emergent major has a sense of self as creator and the tools necessary to put his/her creative flow into physical reality. Classes are small and individual instruction creates a stimulating and productive situation in which the novice and the professional may develop appreciation and a sense of satisfaction about their efforts
