Mission Statement

Full Document

The mission of the Department of Fine Arts is to inspire and to facilitate traditional and contemporary interpretations of artistic literacy and application in multiple contexts. The capacity for students to express themselves artistically is innate. Through exposure and experience, students will develop a better understanding of self, society, and culture. Through manipulation of mediums and the creative processes, students will be exposed to new ideas and will develop problem solving skills that foster independence, critical thinking, and imagination that inspire creativity.
