The 1st year foundations studio experience of an Art & Design major is one of introductions to new ways of seeing, new methods and techniques of visual exploration and research, and one of finding people, like you, who are in love with the act and art of making. Students quickly recognize that art is about process and passion. Foundation studio courses are a testing ground for skill building, a window into truly seeing and experiencing the visual world around us and a challenge to invest into greater levels of conceptual and abstract thinking no matter your stylistic preferences.
THE VSU DEPARTMENT OF ART & DESIGN foundations courses promote an understanding and application of the basic elements of design, creative and analytical thinking, and problem solving, all of which are essential to pursuing a program in the visual arts. By learning to make meaningful connections between art and design, students are able to formulate informed decisions regarding their educational experience in the department of art & design.
We welcome you to browse below and enjoy a selection of works from each of the foundations classes offered within the Department of Art & Design at Valdosta State University.
