Students accepted to the Art Institute earn 6 hours of credit in art. Art Institute students take ARHI 283, the history of art from ancient through medieval times, or ARHI 284, the history of art from the Renaissance through modern times.
Students learn the major developments in drawing, painting, sculpture, and architecture.
This course is one that counts toward an art major, but it also is a fine arts course for those seeking a liberal arts degree. They will experience drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture during their study. They will also make field trips to view exhibits at area museums, and in some instances they will talk with artists about their own works. Art Institute students participate in the Exploring sessions as well as the social and recreational activities of the Summer College for High School Students. They are housed with the other Summer College students.
