Faith / Art Integration: Art Majors will engage in the practice of art as an extension
of Christian ‘Being’, understood in all of its aesthetic, social and ecclesiastical
dynamics.
Visual Literacy: Art Majors will demonstrate a critical and working familiarity with
the themes and concerns of contemporary art, as well as the canon of Western art and
non-western traditions in their aesthetic, intellectual and spiritual implications.
Evidence of this will be manifested through directed projects and their capstone exhibition.
Creative Thinking: Art Majors will demonstrate the ability to engage in associative/spatial
thinking dynamically channeled through various media through directed formal and conceptual
problems as well as self-determined projects.
Media Fluency: Art Majors will demonstrate an ability to command the inherent dynamics
of a variety of 2&3 dimensional media as applied to directed and self-determined expressive
goals.
Professional Awareness: Art Majors will acquire the ability to assess the professional
implications of their expressive decisions and the protocols of presentation that
these varying destinations for artwork require.
