About | Courses | Faculty | Print

As an Art major at UIU, you will learn how to turn your everyday doodles into master pieces on canvas, clay creations into sculptures and word documents into print publications. The art program will challenge you to develop a personal approach to the arts while strengthening your artistic skills and exploring career opportunities. Creativity and independence are cornerstones of the program where faculty members actively lead, motivate and support you to be goal-driven in your education, artistic pursuits and careers.

You will not only gain a solid foundation in studio classes, including ceramics, printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, and graphic design, you also will acquire a global perspective in the visual arts through art history courses. The faculty are practicing professional artists that are engaged not only in teaching the visual arts but who pursue an active role in the visual arts community as well. The art department is located in Edgar Hall, which has state-of-the-art facilities to create and learn in the field of fine arts and an art gallery to exhibit the works of students and guest artists.

LOCATION: Main residential campus in Fayette, Iowa
