School of Art is located in the recently renovated Visual Arts Center,
a 40,000 sq. ft building housing design, drawing, painting, photography,
and communication design classrooms, and a 10,000 sq. ft Art and Architecture
Workshop that houses sculpture, ceramics, printmaking and wood working.
A real plus for our students is a former dormitory converted
to individual studio spaces. This building serves our graduate students
well during their study toward the MFA degree.
The School has established one sixteen-station and two
twenty-station Macintosh computer labs updated with the latest operating
system and software.
Communication Design is our largest program with over
250 majors. Two classrooms and two computer labs keep this area on the
go with exciting ideas flowing from every corner.
Photography has a large professional lighting studio
equipped with continuous and electronic flash units for student use. Photography
students enjoy a computer lab of 20” G5 iMacs.
Sculpture is equipped with an array of quality equipment
including Mig welders and plasma cutting torches. Foundry, glass, stone,
wood, and metals are incorporated into the equipment holdings of this
facility.
Ceramics offers several gas and electric kilns along
with quality wheels with which to work.
Printmaking is a growing discipline at Tech with litho
stones and etching presses constantly busy with student projects.
Painting and drawing are the cornerstones of our various
disciplines with an array of professors displaying a variety of ideas
and methods of teaching. Well grounded in traditional as well as avant
garde theory and practice, the student realizes through their maturation
as an artist that the full range of expression is welcome at Tech. |
