A free exchange of ideas between student and faculty is encouraged by small, relaxed, yet structured classes. The ultimate goal is to develop individual expression, aesthetic judgment, and sensitivity to human relationships and the total environment. The relationship of the artist-teacher to the individual student permits both to explore and evaluate movements in art, study new techniques, and experience the creative environment of a professional studio. Del Mar's graduates have succeeded in institutions throughout the country. Their success, based on sound instruction here, has paved the way for those who follow.
Financial assistance is available through grants, loans, student employment, and scholarships.

They bring to Del Mar a wide variety of educational and professional experience as studio artists, designers, art historians, and art educators. Their teaching performance is greatly enhanced as they practice their profession and actively participate in exhibitions, symposiums, workshops, and conferences at leading schools, museums, and galleries. Projects are designed and built in studios equipped for the use of specific tools and materials.
