Artistic investigation and breadth of work utilizing a variety of mediums.

The Visual Arts Program guides students through artistic investigation and breadth of work utilizing a variety of mediums, as well as historic and foundations coursework. The Studio Design portfolio addresses two-dimensional and three dimensional design issues while engaging student decision making about how to use the elements and principles of art in an integrative way. Students' portfolios demonstrate skills and ideas developed, refined, and applied throughout the course to produce visual compositions. Portfolios and written coursework are evaluated based on standardized scoring descriptors aligned with skills and understanding developed in this foundation course.
