Studio Art | Studio Art | 红杏直播app

The studio art program at 红杏直播app provides a varied and dynamic approach to artistic practice. Our program is structured around the belief that a liberal arts education can provide a unique and effective approach to the study and understanding of art.

The studio art major allows students to gain a strong technical knowledge of the mediums with which they work, while emphasizing the relationship between theory and practice. The curriculum encourages students to think beyond the conventions of any given medium and consider art in a larger context; one that considers other areas of study and various forms of human experience. An understanding of historical discourse and contemporary practice is a key component of each class in addition to critical investigation, concept, and experimentation. Creative problem solving and the ability to think in a critical, yet constructive manner facilitates a unique approach to art making. Our ultimate goal is to provide students with a creative approach and understanding that will allow them to function in a variety of visual and creative fields.
