The goal of the studio art curriculum is to introduce students to the technical, conceptual, and communication skills necessary for activities in the visual arts and to help students understand the major traditions and the place of the visual arts in our culture. Studio courses serve the needs of students planning to pursue graduate studies in art, students interested in exploring their own creative potential as part of their general education, and students preparing for secondary school teaching.
