Photography
Photography is a persuasive, powerful medium with a rich history of contributing to cultural knowledge and enabling people to communicate their ideas. Photographers create images for a variety of contexts ranging from commercial to journalism to fine art. Powerful photographs, regardless of intended context, share in common an excellence of design and craft and compelling content/concepts. Specializations available in commerical, digital and documentary photography.View this program

Sculpture
Professional sculptors may exhibit in galleries or outdoor public venues. They may use their skills as part of an architectural team, in fabrication work or fine art casting, to create installations or props for photography or film, or as part of many other variations on the discipline. They use the craft of their medium and their personal vision to demonstrate awareness of the function of sculpture in a public context.View this program
