The art curriculum is designed to aid and promote exploration of art-making processes and to increase the student’s understanding of art and its relationship to society. The art major prepares the student to be a practicing artist, to enter graduate school for further professional education or to enter the job market in art-related careers. Students also may select art courses as a means of achieving a greater sense of personal creativity and accomplishment. Students, faculty, and invited professional artists display works in the CSU-Pueblo Art Gallery. An active visiting artist program provides contact with successful regional and national professionals.
Emphasis Areas
The department offers advanced course instruction in each of these emphasis areas. There are dedicated studio facilities for each emphasis area including a state-of -the art Macintosh digital and graphic art lab.
