Why Art At USK?

In the Art concentration, students are immersed in the active production and historical study of art. They will learn both the practice of making artworks and the appreciation of art through a two-course historical survey, ART 200 Art History I and ART 315 Art History II. Students are exposed to a broad swath of Western and Non-Western styles and techniques and thus develop strong visual literacy and a strong Iconographic knowledge of art. The three practical courses, ART 300 2D Design, ART 305 Photography, and ART 310 3D Design, teach students two-dimensional and three-dimensional design and photography. In addition to becoming professional artists, students who graduate with Art degrees can consider careers in fields such as graphic design, art education, art therapy, photography, museum curation, and interior design.
