Bachelor [Studio Art] From Marist College

After gaining a solid foundation in design, drawing, and art history, each student specializes in one of five tracks: drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, or digital media. Students also select additional studio courses to expand their knowledge of the visual arts. This curriculum is ideally suited for students who want to combine their studio major with a second one or plan a more rigorous study of the liberal arts.

?The Department of Art and Digital Media believes a sound foundation and an exploration of the fields of digital media, studio art, and art history should be combined with a strong liberal arts education to expand the intellectual horizons of our students. The department seeks ways to broaden their intellectual development through the investigation of state-of-the-art technologies in addition to traditional forms of study and techniques.?

The department believes an education in the visual arts should go beyond the classroom, lab, and studio. Opportunities are provided to exhibit artwork, visit galleries and museums, obtain internships, and study abroad. The Department?s mission is to prepare students for careers and graduate study in the fine and applied arts.

Students also select additional elective studio courses, such as?Basic Sculpture?and?Book-Making?to broaden their knowledge of the visual arts. The BA in Fine Arts: Studio is a good choice for students who are planning to double-major, have multiple minors, transfer students, or students who are interested in an extensive exploration of the liberal arts.
