Student work is displayed in the Photography Gallery. Three graphic arts laboratories in which students learn about presswork, printing procedures, silk screening, and the process camera. Because our student's work is printed, the Graphic Design, Photography, and Graphic Arts majors all take courses in reproduction photography and digital prepress. The graphic arts labs are fully equipped to teach students how designs and photographs are reproduced in magazines and newspapers. Four design and drawing studios and three graphic arts and photography classrooms, specifically created for art and design courses.
Skylights provide natural lighting for figure drawing and illustration courses.
A variety of specialized pieces of equipment, including digital cameras, a dye sublimation printer which provides students with portfolio-quality printouts, and two Silicon Graphics workstations which students use to produce digital animation and digital special effects. The digital animation laboratory is used by Illustration and Design students interested in careers in animation. Most faculty offices are located adjacent to the studios and classrooms. Students find faculty who are concerned and interested. Small classes permit students and faculty to work closely together, and for advisors and advisees to get to know each other in a friendly atmosphere.
