The Studio Art Minor allows students from a variety of backgrounds to maximize their creativity for personal enrichment or to expand career skills in design, cultural awareness, problem-solving and visual literacy. The student explores broader questions of creativity, human meaning, wellness and physical properties of media while working side by side with peers in interactive art studios.
In beginning and intermediate courses students develop creative and cultural theories in art history, visits to museums or in art workshops. Students analyze how and why past and present people have chosen to record their values through art.
Students choose advanced studio art electives to express their own point of view. Ideas from personal life or content from their major are applied to art subject matter. Students enjoy many opportunities to exhibit their work and interact with visiting artists and the broader community.
Students create an advanced portfolio of multiple art forms. In their final semester they work in collaboration with peers and the gallery director to create a public exhibition. They discuss meaningful aesthetic choices across their semesters of making art and how they will apply this learning in their professional life.
