Our art faculty is committed to providing the opportunity and environment for the best possible education in the visual arts.

Students Thrive in Small Class Sizes
Tori was inspired by her high school art teacher to pursue a degree in art.
Tori said she is proficient at drawing, so she's been producing paintings for the past two years. Most recently, she discovered the combination of watercolors and acrylic paint, where she will paint with watercolors before painting over it with acrylics. “I excelled a level in craftsmanship by combining my two favorite mediums in a very skillful way that I hadn’t before,” she said. “It just developed naturally.”
“It’s a great college experience when you’re around people, and you see the same faces every day,” she said.
