Exploring and Expressing Personal Ideas
The mission of the Visual Arts and Design department is to provide the opportunity for students to explore and express their personal ideas and collective understandings within a larger context through the study and creation of original works of art/design.
Visual arts and design courses:
- promote visual literacy through the intentional use of media, materials, technique, and the elements and principles of design, in order to communicate meaning;
- build community and foster cultural awareness;
- have students look carefully and critically in order to see connections, think differently, ask important questions, and develop curiosity and agency through an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving.

One arts credit from any of the visual arts and design or media and performing arts course offerings is required for graduation. See course descriptions for information on credits.
