First Year Program Virtual Exhibition

Visual Arts

The Foundations Program is a coordinated and dynamic first year experience designed to provide students with the methods of artistic research and practice that will allow them to translate their experiences and knowledge into artworks.  Formal elements of design and technique are explored in a larger context which foregrounds how materials, processes and context establish meaning. Students are encouraged to grow imaginatively and analytically by exploring areas in which different media and disciplines fruitfully overlap, thereby becoming more perceptive and responsive to themselves and the world around them, broadening their notions of art and the roles of artists.
