Art

The Art Department provides classes in drawing, painting, photography, graphic design, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture. In 2010, the department moved into Ann Peppers Hall, a 25,000-square-foot facility with state-of-the-art studios, including digital labs for graphic design and digital photography, facilities for painting and printmaking, and a darkroom for black and white photography. The Gallery Building (Old Ann Peppers Hall) houses the ceramics and sculpture studios as well as the art gallery. The ceramics studio features pottery wheels and hand building areas as well as electric, gas and Raku kilns. The sculpture studio contains tools for wood working, metal casting, stone carving, and welding. The Art Department sponsors a slate of 6 exhibits per year including an annual art faculty show and an exhibition of the capstone work of the graduating senior majors.
