The program in Studio Art at UNC-Chapel Hill encourages the development of
technical skills and a personal creative vision. Through study of the
visual arts, students learn how to find creative solutions to problems
and how to express their individuality. Studio Art majors are also
encouraged to become critically aware and dedicated to their passion
for art-making. Through their course work, students develop a sense of
their future career potential and of professional standards in the
visual arts.
The Studio Art faculty emphasize craftsmanship
and the acquisition of the technical skills students will need to
express their visual ideas. The faculty also encourages students to
take advantage of the many resources offered by UNC-Chapel Hill as they
cultivate their intellectual curiosity and develop a broad base of
knowledge to inform their work.
The Studio Art program comprises
one half of the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Art and enjoys the collaboration
of an art history faculty with a rich array of research interests.
Members of the art history faculty frequently serve on M.F.A. thesis
committees, and two members of the art history faculty hold M.F.A.
degrees and are particularly attuned to studio practice.
