The Department of Art, housed in the Center for Visual Arts, aims to develop the visual awareness of all members of the College community. We believe that visual awareness also increases human awareness, and contributes indispensably to the development of a reasoning and imaginative human being. Art students increase their knowledge and understanding of art through the study of art history, and in the studio, learn seeing skills, two dimensional and three dimensional design principles. The studio faculty, all practicing artists, help students through informal discussions as well as classroom activities. The Department stresses a foundation in drawing and design as a basis for all visual art processes. Art students participate in the hanging and curating of exhibits in the Department’s Eide/Dalrymple Gallery. Art department graduates continue to enter a wide variety of art and art related occupations.
