Artists are finding an increasingly expanding range of career options as new media and the need for visual literacy grows. Visual communication skills are valued in a wide variety of settings, from traditional art studios to video game design. Students will hone technical abilities and discover new media as they develop a strong foundation in visual observation and the use of formal aesthetic principles. The importance of visual literacy, critical thinking, collaboration, and cultural context is emphasized.
