 Foundation studies classes consist of studio work augmented by slide lectures, demonstrations, field trips and critiques. In these courses, students learn to manipulate the principles and elements of art while developing technical skills with various tools and media. Through foundation studies, students expand their critical thinking abilities and deepen their understanding of visual language. They are prepared to evaluate and consider new concepts and materials encountered in major programs and in the professional world. To determine foundation studies requirements and electives, students should consult the curriculum list for each major.
