BA in Studio Art

At the foundational level, art making isn t just about how you use your hands; it s also about how you use your eyes and your brain. So while you ll put in plenty of hours at the drafting table, honing your craftsmanship and practicing your handiwork, your first task as an art student is learning how to really see. Oglethorpe studio courses are designed to help you with that task. You ll develop your visual acuity, and your understanding of visual language. You ll also begin to consider artwork in its greater aesthetic and cultural context seeing in a different way. The course offering is comprehensive, with classes in drawing, painting, figure drawing, photography (darkroom and digital), printmaking, two-dimensional design, color theory, anatomy, and figure sculpture, all the way from the introductory level to the advanced.
