Foundations

The Foundation Program provides beginning students with fundamental skills, knowledge and experiences essential to their development as visual arts professionals.
Professional success in the visual arts requires knowledge of past and present accomplishments in the field, an ability to make interdisciplinary connections, and a strong sense of self-direction. Students are encouraged to develop and enhance their technical skills, develop their critical judgement, refine their personal goals, and expand their understanding of history and culture. The curriculum offers an introduction to all of the visual arts professions offered by the School of Art, and helps prepares students to choose an undergraduate course of study.
