The bachelor of arts program in the visual arts explores techniques and
materials, places, events, and images that are the basis of creative
work. The program offers a curriculum that seeks to develop

social implications of art. The visual arts program offers studio and
critical study courses. Studio courses focus on the mastery of skills
within specialized media such as ceramics and sculpture, drawing and
painting, graphic design,* photography, printmaking, and video.
Critical studies courses focus on art in relation to social,
environmental, psychological, and philosophical systems. This focus
provides a basis for understanding the position of the artist in the
modern world.
