视觉艺术

The 视觉艺术 department at Roger Williams University prepares students for future careers in the arts with an interdisciplinary spirit and a global perspective. The 视觉艺术 faculty consists of active artists who share their experience with students through lively and challenging discussions and critiques. Media exploration is encouraged throughout the 程序 and culminates in the creation of a cohesive body of work that reflects the individual student’s interests.

The major brings together students of diverse backgrounds who explore their creative interests through a range of media experiences. Emphasis of study is placed on historical as well as contemporary theories in the arts so that students may better place their own artwork within a larger context. Students in the 程序 balance craft and conceptual agility and new and traditional media to engage in an increasingly interdisciplinary world. The interdisciplinary nature of the 程序 allows students to explore multiple areas of interest that informs their creative work and gives students a broader skill-set than most arts 程序s. Our strength is the amount of attention given to each individual student-artist as they develop in the 程序 preparing them for a future career in the arts.
