Department: Art & Design
The minor in Spatial Arts is meant to give students an introduction to understanding materials, form and space. Students take beginning level Spatial Arts courses in ceramics and sculpture then choose electives to further develop techniques and concepts.
The goal of Spatial Arts is to increase potential for creative expression. This is accomplished by a strong foundation in technical skills and material understanding. Students develop their artistic practice while making connections with the histories, processes, concepts and contemporary issues in Ceramics and Sculpture. By encouraging diversity of skills, students are better equipped for creative solutions and artistic success.
Our students challenge and support each other in a learning environment dedicated to the value of art in society. From the vessel to public art, the figurative to new forms, the static to kinetic, Spatial Arts provides personal guidance and teaching grounded in form and meaning.
