Motivating, encouraging and inspiring are three words students often use to describe their experiences in the Metro State Art Department. No matter what their area of interest, students have every opportunity to fully develop their talents. Provide Hands-On Experiences: Students have opportunities to interface with the professional community through conferences, field experiences and internships with galleries, museums, artist studios, design firms and other businesses. The Visiting Artist Program hosts nationally and internationally recognized artists and scholars who work directly with students. Students also have an immediate interface with Metro State's Center for the Visual Arts, the Art Department Senior Experience Gallery and the Auraria Campus Emmanuel Gallery. Study abroad opportunities are offered to students through the departmentıs art history program. Teach Cutting-Edge Material: Our curriculum combines art theory and practice, and is extremely responsive to technological changes, providing students the ability to work at the cutting edge of fine art, design, crafts, art history and art education. The art history program offers a full range of course work with a unique focus in contemporary art and art theory. Prepare Students for the Future: We have a high job placement rate, particularly in the design and art education areas. Many outstanding studio and art history graduates are accepted to and continue their studies at prestigious graduate programs around the country. Most of the professors here expect you, even force you, to challenge
yourself. They made me expand my own ideas and my appreciation for
other artists. We get amazing visiting artists here. Itıs really inspiring;
thatıs where we get a lot of our energy. Itıs incredibly encouraging
and motivating. Our diverse student body allows students to get opinions on
their work from people beyond their peer groups. This creates an
incredibly positive environment. Our faculty are internationally and nationally recognized, with accomplished publishing and exhibition records. They hold the most advanced degrees in the arts, and students work one-on-one with them in all courses. |
