Minor in Art

The minor in art is designed to give a coherent structure to a brief but serious investigation of studio art. Through a series of courses that become more challenging as the student progresses, the student should grow to understand the formation of visual imagery and gain confidence in studio practice. The minor is designed for students who wish to incorporate more intensive visual studio training with studies in other areas, such as art history or advertising, or for those who want a basic directed studio curriculum.
