The Art Department's flexible program is designed to help you develop creative problem-solving processes and to help you understand and master basic principles and skills in art and design. The art program stresses both theory and studio practice, beginning with a foundation in two-dimensional design, three-dimensional design, and drawing. Art history is included in art major requirements as a supplement to the study of art theory and practice.
