The art curriculum is designed to allow students to develop skills in several different artistic media, including painting, printmaking, ceramics, drawing, watercolor, sculpture, photography, and crafts. During their senior year, art students arrange their shows for public display in the Robert W. Regier Gallery in the Luyken Fine Arts Center.
Study Abroad
Every four years (most recently in 2023), the Department of Visual Arts and Design teaches a course in Italian Renaissance Art History, which concludes with a study-abroad trip. Students are able to experience another culture and apply their learning about art and architecture in person while visiting Rome, Florence, and Venice, as well as Vatican City, Ravenna, and Padua.
