Art and Archaeology Major with Studio Art Concentration, B.A.
The studio art concentration provides academic preparation for students planning to pursue professional careers in the visual arts, teaching, community art programs, museums, galleries and other cultural institutions. The studio art program at Hood College helps students develop fundamental technical skills in art, gives them the ability to utilize and analyze the use of formal design principles and arms them with an understanding of historical and contemporary concepts and approaches to making art. Students leverage these skills to create a body of work, which they present to the public as their senior exhibition. The studio art concentration provides educational opportunities that both strengthen the analytical and creative thinking skills needed for diverse careers and give students experience in personal aesthetic expression.
