Fine Art

Art is a high calling. It enriches our lives, cheers our darkest days, stirs our emotions and stimulates our intellect. Art shapes our culture. Our world needs artists whose work reflects not only skill and creativity, but also wisdom and insight.

Huntington University offers rigorous art training within the context of a diverse liberal arts education. We will help you develop as an artist and a scholar, and ultimately, expand the depth and breadth of your creative energy and expression for the glory of God.

Our Art Department produces visual artists, graphic designers, and art teachers of unique creative thought and outstanding Christian faith. At Huntington, we strive to help all art students to develop an understanding of and appreciation for the important role of art in society.

As a Huntington University art student, you will acquire broad experience in the creative use of methods and materials, and attain confidence in their ability to integrate their faith, knowledge and creativity.

As a Fine Art major, your curriculum will include  studio courses in drawing, painting, and design. You’ll give and receive constructive criticism, and participate in dynamic discussions. Your experience will be enriched by visiting artists, on-campus gallery exhibits, and field trips to cultural resources of Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Toledo. European art tours are frequently offered, as well.

You’ll take courses in art history and criticism to gain skill in discerning major art styles and periods, acquire an understanding of the historical role of art as a means of expressing ideas in religion and culture, and grow in appreciation for the heritage of the visual arts in Christian worship.

You will also complete advanced studios in preparation for a senior exhibit and portfolio. These culminating projects will enable you to showcase your creative breadth and artistic maturity.
