Fine and Performing Arts

The Fine and Performing Arts faculty believes in the importance of being sensitive to the needs of each individual student and of encouraging each student to strive for excellence in accomplishment. We endeavor to provide an atmosphere, which encourages exploration and creativity.

Visual arts education trains students to perceive and shape the visual, spatial, and aesthetic characteristics of the world around them. Visual arts include the traditional “fine arts” of drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture; the design fields including industrial, ceramic, textile, furniture, and graphic design; and architecture, landscape design and urban, regional, and rural planning. Visual arts is a continuously evolving field that also explores the expressive potential of technologies such as film, holography, video, and other electronic forms of image-making.
