the exploration of creativity in the areas of Ceramics, Graphic
Design, Computer Graphics, Two and Three Dimensional Design,
Drawing, Illustration, Photography, Electronic Imaging, Portfolio

Unique travel, cross-discipline and art history topics are also

approach to learning by recognizing the many relationships existing
between the visual arts and other disciplines.
Emphasis is placed on developing student creativity through individual
problem-solving. Foundation courses are designed to introduce
formal elements and principles, materials and techniques, and
the development of concepts. Lower division courses introduce
students to various creative mediums. Upper division courses provide
continued study of specific media, advanced compositional and
conceptual problems, and the development of related and marketable
skills. All students are required to develop and fabricate a professional
portfolio in original and digital forms. |
