The Visual Art major at Seattle University combines fundamentals of design, color theory and art history with a range of courses designed to foster creativity across multiple mediums. 2-dimensional arts are the focus of the program, with foundational and advanced courses in painting, drawing, printmaking and ceramic sculpture.
Painting and drawing courses are divided into three levels. Introductory courses examine the broad possibilities of the medium, and familiarize students with materials, techniques and theories. Students then delve more deeply into the technical aspects of their work in intermediate courses, gaining expertise and fluency. Advanced and specialized courses encourage students to explore their own unique artistic voice; students build a body of work using open-ended assignments and applying philosophical and theoretical concepts.
Seattle University’s Visual Arts faculty are practicing artists, whose work in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation and book-arts is exhibited both regionally and internationally.
