The Art Major (BA)
Professor: Dustyn Bork
Assistant Professor: Maggie Gayle and James E. Berry II
Visiting Professor: Abigail Smithson
The art major offers a rich and diverse range of investigations across the disciplines of art practice and art history. Integrating extensive liberal arts offerings with a broad studio experience, majors will balance exploration with a focus on future goals. The art major prepares students for graduate school applications and works in art-related fields. It develops in students the necessary knowledge, technical skill, and commitment to work as an artist today. Students are immersed in a creative learning environment and encouraged to cultivate an approach to art-making that is informed by traditional two- and three-dimensional art practices, experimental approaches, and new digital technologies.
