welcome
The Art Department offers courses in the studio arts, history of art, and art education. Studio courses stress the fundamentals of visual communication and help the student cultivate the technical skills necessary for the effective expression of their ideals in a given medium. Art history courses combine the traditional and non-traditional approaches to the study of art past and present and stress the social and cultural contexts of art and architecture. We invite you to peruse our web site and become involved in the life of the department.
