Arts
From paintings to ceramics to graphics on a screen, works that we experience primarily by seeing belong to the visual arts. Learning traditional and digital artmaking techniques and history is not only a means of personal enrichment, but also a pathway to potentially rewarding careers in the arts and far beyond.
Occupations
While some Studio Arts graduates go on to create and sell their own work for a living, others pursue further studies in preparation for careers as architects, graphic designers, art therapists, teachers, or filmmakers. Jobs in museums and galleries as curators, administrators, and docents all benefit from a foundation in art studies and studio experience.
