The faculty of the Department of Art + Design believe that Foundations should foster
creativity, self-awareness, critical thinking, and core competencies. We have designed
an immersive program that gives students rigorous, intensive, and challenging training
in the principles of visual art expression. Foundations builds a community of student
artists, designers, and scholars who enthusiastically embrace the power of art and
design to shape our worlds.
