Art at AQ
It's your time to Create
We are dedicated to the preparation of students for the roles of artists, art historians,
visual arts and administrators, and we build in non-art majors an appreciation for
the value of creative problem solving and the rich interchange of images and ideas
that happen between art and other areas of life.
Different Art majors can expect to gain an adequate knowledge of the history of art, ancient to the present and also learn to present their art and ideas professionally, including mounting of their B.F.A. thesis exhibit, digital portfolio preparation, resume writing, and discussion of the ideas, images, and processes in their own art.
