Milan Piva, 2013, talks about finding and developing her own artistic style with the help of her Baker art instructors.

You will have ample opportunity to work in Baker’s studio spaces to develop your skill.

As you find your niche, you will continue with more in-depth studies of a medium or media of your choice.

You will gain a general understanding of art through an historical perspective, providing you knowledge and inspiration that will help you grow as an artist.

As a studio art major, you will learn the techniques and forms that allow you to express yourself powerfully, artistically and visually.

The visual arts are among the oldest, most universal and most fundamental expressions of human culture.

Three Ways to Guide & Inspire Future Students

The curriculum for the art education major is drawn from three subjects:

  • Studio art | Learn to create by studying various media, form, expression and technique.
  • Art history | Learn about the art of others throughout human history and observe techniques and methods of expression used by the world’s greatest artists.
  • Education | Courses specific to teaching art along with general education courses prepare you to take on a classroom of your own.

Major & Minors

The Department of Mass Media and Visual Arts offers a major in art education, and students work toward licensure in art (preK-12). Minors are offered in art history and studio art.
