Art

The Art Department offers students many dynamic paths, from honing their craft in a specific medium to crossing boundaries through an exploration of varied media and messages. It’s all about developing artistic voice, vision, and skill. Specializations include - but are not limited to - painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and new media art (art made with video & and other technologies). Underpinning this flexible curriculum are core courses that expand possibilities, spark critical thinking, and create community within year groups and between students and faculty.
