Visual Arts Education Program of Study
Students will follow program of study under guidance from an advisor.
The philosophy of the Visual Arts Education Program is based on John Dewey’s philosophy of “Art as Experience’’ where students learn by doing and in doing so explore the diversity that exists today in the visual arts and in life. From the late 1940’s on, art educators have been trained by practical experiences, as well as by a pedagogical approach. It is hoped that this program integrates a multitude of dynamics.
In addition to the specific admission requirements to the Education Program, students are admitted to the Visual Arts Education Program based on a portfolio and academic achievement with no lower than 2.5 GPA. Students who are weak in studio art are asked to take classes in painting and drawing before entrance to the program while they are accepted conditionally.
