Additional Learning Outcome: Graduates of the studio art concentration will also be able to develop a body of work demonstrating strength in representational drawing and painting and visual storytelling in a variety of media sufficient for pursuing professional opportunities in studio art and illustration fields.

The studio art program begins with a foundation of basic drawing and design principles to equip students with proper skills and techniques and proceeds through advanced skills in drawing, painting, and computer usage.
