FINE ARTS PROGRAM
The Department of Visual Arts' overall goals are to increase the student’s awareness of visual concepts; to enable students to organize and direct the focus of their work through independent study and goal setting; to refine the technical skills necessary in traditional art-making as well as to develop exploratory and experimental approaches to self-expression; to formulate original concepts and relationships between objects and people using creative problem solving techniques and personal reflection; and to forge interdisciplinary connections between cultures, past artistic endeavors and the individual’s personal concepts. Through a wide variety of art experiences, students are provided with the opportunity to explore their creative potential and to develop accompanying skills.
