Description: In the A.B. Program in Interdisciplinary Art, students are taught to use techniques and tools associated with studio media; to understand the non-verbal language of art and design in terms of artistic principles and application; to be able to organize visual elements both rationally and intuitively according to understood artistic principles; and to become familiar with the major achievements in the history of art. The program requires 24 hours in studio art beyond the 15 hours in Area VI of the core curriculum. Thus, the major requires a total of 39 hours of studio courses. The A.B. Program in Interdisciplinary Art is intended for students who want more academic courses and freedom to choose electives over a wider range of offerings than is afforded by the B.F.A. programs in Studio Art.
