艺术

关于 the 艺术 Area of Concentration

艺术 emphasizes both quality academic work and art-making together, leading to graduates who both make art and can speak and write about their own and others’ work eloquently. 艺术 provides a unique environment to incorporate diverse perspectives from a variety of fields into students’ studio practices. Courses address technical and conceptual aspects of art making through historical and contemporary perspectives so that students continue to cultivate these competencies independently in the future.

Studio classes support a diverse range of media and students move through foundations to advanced work, with opportunities for competitive exhibition. Painting and drawing studios provide ample space for large-scale projects in oil, acrylic, and watercolor. Sculpture facilities include a foundry, woodworking area, and welding area. The printmaking studio accommodates intaglio, block printing, and screen-printing. The Isermann Gallery exhibition space generates a forum for display and dialog and practice in preparing work for exhibition. The 艺术 AOC prepares graduates to pursue a career within the arts as a professional artist, designer, educator, or arts administrator, or to take their visual skills into new directions.

“New College afforded me the opportunity to explore my artistic voice. It provided me with confidence in my own ideas and equipped me with the structure to validate my artistic works.”
