The studio art program emphasizes art-making as a form of creative inquiry and research taking place within a broad historical and cultural context. With a curriculum aimed at the development of visual skills, creative and critical reasoning, and comprehension of historical and contemporary contexts, the program prepares its students for a diversity of careers and graduate study in art. Students may take courses in Drawing, Design, Sculpture, Ceramics, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, New Media, and Film. While classes are generally taught with these mediums as a framework, the overall curriculum supports interdisciplinary understandings and approaches. With class enrollments limited to 15 and a dedicated and diverse faculty comprised of distinguished, practicing artists, the studio art program offers each student dynamic and meaningful learning opportunities within UVM's broad, liberal educational context
Students work in a broad variety of media. They are introduced to art making through foundation courses. The 100 level classes allow them to learn in a specific medium building on skills and concepts acquired from foundation classes. Advanced classes can further or broaden their interests in a specific medium. Students are required to explore as broadly as possible with an oportunity at the senor level to create a significant body of work
