In the Comprehensive Visual Art courses, we strive to expose students to as many new art making experiences as possible. With a focus on the creative process, students work in a wide variety of media, including 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional pieces, to hone their skills, solve studio challenges and to learn to effectively express their intended message. Critical analysis of their own work, the art of their peers and historical and contemporary art works, allows students to form and explore important connections and helps to informs students' own art practices.
