ART STUDIES AT EUREKA COLLEGE

The major/minor in art is designed for diverse media exploration, with a concentration in either 2D or 3D production. Courses in art history, gallery experiences, and special topics opportunities provide a foundation where historic context and contemporary issues serve as a frame of reference for developing individual modes of expression. Art studies in the major culminate in a required senior exhibit, providing the student with an opportunity to produce, and/or curate and display work centered on a specific theme or thesis. Art minors have the option to exhibit in paired or group shows.
