The BVU art major presents a solid base for continuing work in graduate school and art-related fields such as teaching, arts administration, publishing, or exhibition.
The Visual Art and Design Department provides a dynamic community of creative learning with smaller sized studio classes, an active studio environment, and a focused outcomes-based curriculum. Students are able to form strong relationships and have individualized experiences. The department faculty are practicing artists that are able to model and communicate the compelling demands and rewards of creative study. Students emerge from the programs as well-rounded, successful individuals who are prepared for careers in art and design or graduate school. Students develop technical skill, concept-based decision making, communication skills, and professional portfolios.
The Visual Art and Design Department offers students a wide-ranging curriculum in Studio Art, Graphic Design, Animation, Art Education, Art Therapy, Arts Management, and Scientific Illustration. The department is supported by recently renovated facilities in the Social Science and Art Building and the recently added Center for Sculpture and Ceramics. These facilities include large studio spaces, technology equipped classrooms, large student exhibition spaces, and the BVU Art Gallery. The BVU Art Gallery features a full schedule of exhibitions by professional artists, and the campus permanent collection is comprised of hundreds of works by accomplished and renowned artists.
We prepare students for lifelong success through transformational academic, professional and co-curricular programs.
