Undergraduate Programs

Art programs are designed to develop the student's creative faculties, a sense of critical judgment, and fundamental skills and techniques. In each of the concentrations within the art major, the principal and supporting courses have one general purpose: to instill a mature, professional attitude toward the process of artistic creation and expression.
Students enrolled in the Department of Art at PSU will acquire:
·Knowledge and experience of the creative problem solving processes.
·Knowledge of discipline-specific skills and vocabulary.
·Knowledge of art history and design.
·Knowledge of critical theories in art.
·Knowledge and experience to formulate a cumulative body of work in their discipline.
