Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts
In Visual Arts, we believe that professional creative expression requires both technical and intellectual skills that are acquired through intensive studio work, research, professional exposure, and gallery practice. Students thus acquire a variety of visual art skills, including drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and video, while also developing their critical awareness of artistic issues, past, present, and future, within the region and internationally.
