The electronic classes are both introductory and advanced, requiring the study of multimedia. The graphic arts courses teach printing technology using camera skills, and printing presses to print graphic projects. Students often use the Epson 5000 printer for producing presentation works Universal to the art and design students are individual art review courses, art history classes and cognate lecture classes. The cognate classes present conceptual information to students about physically creating art and design, perceiving visual structure, and social attitudes about art and design. The review classes allow for a formal presentation by each student to the entire faculty or to a small group of faculty in both the sophomore and junior year.
Seniors present their work in the senior show just prior to graduation.
Student work is presented in an annual exhibit, biannual senior exhibits, and monthly exhibits organized by our student gallery. The Art Students League is a very active student group that all art and design majors can belong to for both professional and social activities. It is encouraged that students seek internships and jobs related to graphic communication to increase their marketability. There are many freelance jobs available for students on a regular basis, such as logo designs, brochures, posters, etc. Often client jobs are incorporated into class assignments.
