Art Studio, part of the Department of Art and Art History at UC
Davis, offers B.A. and M.F.A. degrees in Studio Art.
The Art Studio program is designed to deliver a broad range of
hands-on studio practices to the art major. Areas of focus
include painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, ceramics,
printmaking, and time-based media. Students are encouraged to
explore a broad range of disciplines and are expected to take
advantage of beginning classes which provide a critical
introduction to the research possibilities within the major. In
addition to studio classes, students may participate in a
distinguished visiting artist lecture series, professional
practice seminars, student exhibitions, competitions and
internships.
