VISUAL ARTS PROGRAM
The mission of the Visual Arts Program is to provide students with
a well-organized
curriculum and a safe creative environment where they are stimulated
to ask questions,
enabled to solve problems, and encouraged to take risks in the process
of creating artworks
and acquiring knowledge about the art world. Discovery is encouraged
through
experimentation and problem solving. Students are given opportunities
to develop the skills,
structure, and encouragement to prepare them for advanced studies in
the liberal arts and/or
careers in the vast arena of the visual arts.
Since its inception in
1995, the Visual Arts
Program has provided studio and lecture courses and out-of-classroom
experiences so that
students may develop the academic and technical skills needed to research,
create, and
critically analyze art in its many culturally diverse forms.
