UNDERGRADUATE COURSEWORK

INTRODUCTION
The undergraduate art and design foundations courses concentrate on the
development of sensory awareness, the ability to think responsively,
and the visualization of thought through the manipulation of materials
and processes. A comprehensive and mixed media course of study ensures
investigative exposure to the widest variety of methods.
The
foundation program is the prerequisite for all upper-level studio
courses. This studio-based coursework provides the vocabulary, as well
as a broad range of information and experience, fundamental to all
areas of art and design. The teaching staff for the foundation program
is drawn from the department’s studio disciplines.
