Art A.B.
The A.B. affords students the opportunity to pursue art making in a rich interdisciplinary environment. With a balance of art fundamentals and in-depth electives, all studio courses emphasize hands-on experience to develop confidence, ideas, and skills. Working closely with a faculty of active artists, small classes of students explore a variety of media in well-equipped workspaces conducive to the creative process. As part of their training as artists, students are strongly encouraged to select the best Core Curriculum and other courses outside the major that will complement their research and art making.
