Immerse Yourself in Studio Art
Thrive As Successful Fine Artists
Students who immerse themselves in Studio Art at Lakeland will graduate well-positioned to thrive as successful fine artists, some of whom may choose to continue to grow at the graduate school level. Over the years, every Lakeland Studio Art student who has applied to graduate school has been accepted; a track record we are quite proud of!
For every Studio Art major, their capstone experience is the renowned Senior Exhibition which gives art students their first professional major exhibition and leads the way toward many more.
Broad Range of Media and Art Tools
Showcase Event
Each senior sets up a unique display in the Bradley Art Gallery, promotes the exhibit, and on opening day, gives a brief presentation and answers questions from members of the audience.
Another showcase event, the Annual Student Art Exhibition in the Bradley, annually features up to 500 pieces of "A" level work from many disciplines of art. Top work is also displayed year-round in the Verhulst Hall Art Gallery.
Before studio art students are ready to share their work with the LU community, they engage in challenging coursework. They also learn to use a broad range of media and art tools to become skilled at creatively composing the elements of art – line, shape, value, texture, color, and space.
