Program Description
Vermont State University’s Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts program offers a strong foundation in a variety of artistic disciplines, including drawing, painting, media arts, art history and sculpture. Students are then able to choose to concentrate their studies in either media arts, photography, art history, or continue to study a wide range of mediums in studio arts.
The program offers a strongly humanistic course of study in the arts that prepares each individual to be professional fine artists. Through creative inquiry, complex problem-solving, organizational skills and diverse methods of expression, students in the BA in Art program will become immersed in a community of innovative artists.
Through studio experiments, students learn to sharpen their senses of perception. Creating artwork means distilling their observations, ideas, and dreams into a physical form. Along the way, the materials, technologies, and methods students use will challenge them to make complex decisions and come up with original solutions.
