Fine Arts Department Overview
The Fine Arts Department helps the student artist develop personal vision and technical abilities through experimentation with a variety of media. Problem-solving, critical thinking and experimentation with processes respective to the medium build the foundation for aesthetic thinking. The department strives to impress upon the students the idea of being responsible for themselves and the work they produce.
