About the Program
The Visual Arts program at Heritage helps students find their artistic path, teaching them a variety of studio techniques and providing a curriculum that is devoted to the achievement of excellence in visual expression. Students complete a program that is specifically tailored to meet their needs in such areas as painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, and design. They discover the historical roots and influences that contributed to contemporary art and come away with a larger understanding of the role and relevance of the visual arts in contemporary societies. Career opportunities are explored with students developing competence in basic studio skills, awareness of historical and contemporary critical concerns within the profession, and sensitivity to the breadth of aesthetic diversity expressed through the visual arts. Through required senior internships, students acquire valuable hands-on experience that helps them transition to graduate school or careers as professional artists or related professions in business and education.
