艺术史 & 设计部门
艺术 & 设计 Mission Statement, adopted by the art faculty March 11, 2017:
“The 艺术 and 设计部门 at pp电子极速糖果 integrates the principles of a liberal arts education with professional training in the visual arts. This is accomplished by teaching the technical and creative processes of art and the critical methods of analyzing visual expression. Our studio-based concentrations focus on the methods, theories and concepts of art and design and educate students to think critically, 创造性地表达自己, 并清楚地表达他们的想法. Our well-equipped studios and dedicated faculty provide students with the experiences and examples to engage themselves in the production of art and design.”
The art faculty believes this to be a more comprehensive statement of our goals and mission today. These departmental principles are consistent with the pp电子极速糖果 Institutional Mission Statement and the Institutional Vision and Values as stated in the pp电子极速糖果 2020-2021 Catalog, particularly the emphases on “A curriculum, often bridging liberal education and professional programs, that successfully prepares students for the 21st century in the areas of personal and social responsibility, 公民参与, 道德, 以及跨文化/全球学习.”
