DescriptionThe Visual Arts Programs and Bachelor of Fine Arts program begin with an introductory foundation year. The curriculum focuses on the basics of visual communication used in art and design. The courses are designed to develop students’ ability to think critically and creatively, and to enhance their written and oral communication skills. Foundation courses introduce basic concepts through a mixture of hands-on studio and theory based lecture and provide prerequisite skills for second year courses and a solid foundation for professional practice.

Some foundation courses may be offered on a rotational basis in regional locations. Please contact the Fine Arts Department for information.
