Description of Program
The Visual Arts Department at the Barbara Ingram School for the Arts provides students with a solid foundation in the visual arts field. The course of study includes instruction in traditional media; drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, printmaking, and photography, as well as newer forms, such as digital media and mixed media. The curriculum provides a balance between technical skill acquisition and concept development through emphasis on art history, design, and aesthetics.
