The program offered by the Castleton University teaches practical skills that are crucial to making an art student adaptable in today’s complex world. We introduce students to the language of art and design and model ways to cultivate creativity. You will learn how to conduct research, efficiently manage your time, and make critical assessments.

Through studio experiments, you will learn to sharpen your senses of perception. Creating an artwork means distilling your observations, ideas and dreams into physical form. Along the way, the materials, technologies and methods you use will challenge you to make complex decisions and come up with original solutions.
