| Description: | The Visual and Aboriginal Arts program provides professional preparation for careers in the visual arts. The program offers a technical, academic and practical environment for the creative visual process. As a well-rounded education in visual art, it includes studio practice and the exposure to issues, ideas and histories of both Western and Aboriginal art. Once a major in either painting, ceramics, Aboriginal art or drawing is determined, students further specialize their studio practice through more advanced technical and academic knowledge. Studio art can serve as a teachable major in an education degree. A non-studio minor in Art and Visual culture focuses on art history and contemporary art theory towards specialization in careers including arts administrator, curator and art historian. |
