Description:

The Visual Arts program is designed to cultivate imaginative and problem-solving skills. Students develop their creativity and artistic personality through courses and hands-on studio work in drawing, sculpture, painting, printmaking, photography, multi-media and graphic design. They also work with computer-generated images to achieve their artistic goals using current software. Students develop through activities such as live model sessions, video presentations, guest lecturers and visits to galleries and museums. Students also have the opportunity to show their work in the department's yearly public exhibition.

Armed with a diploma in Visual Arts and their portfolios graduates have many opportunities to pursue future studies in fine arts, graphic design, fashion, video, animation, computer art, cartooning, film production, illustration, painting, sculpture, photography, art history, gallery and museum work, typography, theatre set and costume design, education, art therapy, community programming, interior design, architecture and advertising.
