Art & Graphic Design
 
 
 

The Department of Art & Graphic Design aims to teach the production of the visual arts within a Christian context, toward the goal of preparing students for professional careers in this field. Strong emphasis is placed upon critical thinking, research, and study in the visual arts, both on and off campus.

The department seeks to achieve the following objectives:

  • To demonstrate knowledge of creative problem-solving, current technology, concepts and terminology, art historical trends, and philosophical foundations of visual art.
  • To demonstrate skill development in the creation of visual art, the conceptualization of ideas, visual and oral communication, and critical and historical writing through the use of current technology.
  • To develop an appreciation of artistic expression, formulate ethical and spiritual values, and exhibit a commitment to the field of art and graphic design.
