COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Studio Art is a well-rounded art program that places its educational focus on artistic traditions that are prominent in the art world today: the representational tradition, modernism and postmodernism.
Studio art majors learn to work in a wide variety of artistic media, including drawing, oil painting, the four traditional printmaking media, digital photography, computer art, mixed media and calligraphy. Students are expected to achieve mastery of a chosen medium during their four-year undergraduate period. These include drawing/watercolor, painting, printmaking or photography. Students also take courses in art history and art criticism to hone their writing skills while establishing a critical and cultural awareness of art.
After the sophomore year the student can select a medium discipline
Benedictine offers a unique, interdisciplinary art therapy concentration that combines a B.A. in Studio Art with specific courses in art therapy and psychology. Students with a passion for art, and using the power of art to help others, would find a career in art therapy rewarding.
Throughout the year, the campus art gallery hosts numerous exhibitions from local, national and internationally renowned artists for the campus community and for the public to enjoy. Benedictine art students also have the opportunity to display their artwork in this beautiful 1,500-square-foot space.
