Fine Arts Department promotes the development of artistic skills, the expression of creative processes, and an informed awareness of how art practice intersects with current visual, cultural and societal concerns.Students gain a strong foundation in the artistic tradition via both established and new media, thus enriching their capacity for communication and expression as a whole.
