Description:Want to make art, change minds, connect communities, and expand horizons? At Waterloo, you'll choose from two paths: Studio Practice to create art, and Visual Culture for history and theory.

As an artist, you'll express yourself using ceramics, painting, print media, photography, and cutting-edge technologies such as 3D printing, digital imagery, and DSLR filmmaking. Visual Culture combines courses from Architecture, Anthropology, English, and 20 other disciplines.

Whichever path you choose, you'll have access to SOFA, the Society of Fine Arts where you'll meet likeminded artists and make new friends.
