Fine art is a form of human expression that usually results in a tangible object.
The Department of Art at Ohio State helps students acquire the visual skills, manipulative abilities, and concepts necessary to create works of art. A strong faculty, comprised of professionally recognized artists dedicated to the craft of teaching, is enhanced by an active visiting artist program. The studio facilities, centrally located on the Oval, are excellent. The department also maintains an active exhibition schedule in its own gallery which is supplemented by the highly publicized Wexner Center for the Arts, located almost adjacent to the art buildings. Career Opportunities in Art Students who successfully complete the studio art curriculum receive a Bachelor of Fine Arts, a professional degree considered to be the gateway to a career as an artist.
