INTRODUCTION
The Department of Art concentrates on developing the
student's understanding of art and the artistic process
through studio experiences and the study of art history and
theory. Art fundamentals, stressed through design and
drawing, are the basis for advanced studio courses. Studies
in art history include both broad surveys and studies of
specific periods and movements.
Students are encouraged from the beginning of their studies
to do independent work in addition to classroom
assignments. Senior students are provided studio space as
an encouragement to do independent work and to prepare
for their senior exhibition.
The department is well-equipped and air-conditioned
studios and classrooms are located in the Alice Pratt Brown
Art Hall in the Don H. Morris Center. The Clover Virginia
Shore Art Gallery, a part of the complex, hosts regular
showings of original works of art.
