Fine & Performing Arts
Mission
The Art Department offers a rich variety of 1000 and 2000 level courses in the Visual and Performing Arts. These courses provide the student with ample opportunities for the exploration of a variety of topics both in the traditional studio arts as well as in contemporary digital media and cultural studies.
The Art Department offers superb facilities for the study of Ceramics, B&W Photography, Graphics, Digital Photography, Electronic Music and Video Art. All art courses are taught by seasoned artists and musicians, effectively mentoring students into the histories and contemporary expressions of a particular medium.
Art courses foster the practice of critical thinking and self expression through an integrated mind/body approach to learning. This approach has consistently proven to be successful in addressing the needs of students with learning differences.
The Art Department believes that learning differences must be acknowledged, as an integral part of the human condition and that Universal Design principles should guide all of our pedagogic efforts.

- Interpret and evaluate Art from a variety of aesthetic, critical and historical approaches.
- Understand the role of Art in contemporary culture.
