Visual Arts
The Visual Arts Program features a studio-based curriculum, with hands-on studio assignments supplemented by a broad introduction to art history, theory, criticism, and aesthetics. Students work with both digital and traditional media to create fine art & illustrations. Our Visual Arts faculty members are practicing artists who instruct in their own areas of expertise as well as create their own work throughout the school year. Students are prepared for portfolio reviews and admissions into the nation’s top Fine & Visual Arts programs. Graduates have attended schools including FIT, SCAD, Pratt, SVA, MICA and Rhode Island School of Design.
