Learning Outcomes for Students in Art Studio
Students will:

• Demonstrate proficiency in art in the utilization and application of materials, techniques and concepts.
• Demonstrate understanding of terminology relative to the field
• Develop ability to experiment with independent creative projects within and between art mediums.

These outcomes emphasize developing higher cognitive skills, focus and depth in one or more disciplines, and communication skills. By emphasizing ability to experiment with independent creative projects, the program prepares students for lifelong learning and encourages independent thinking.
