Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Art] From Mercer University

About the Major

Art Majors emphasize in either studio art or art history. Courses offer a wide range of possibilities in the studio ? from traditional media to digital imaging. Courses taught in art history travel from prehistory to contemporary art criticism. After a core of design, drawing, art history and criticism is complete, students choose courses to fit their personal needs and interests.

The Art Department features studio classrooms for ceramics, drawing, 2-D design, painting, photography, printmaking and sculpture, along with lecture and seminar rooms for art history. Digital imaging classes are taught in two different Mac computer labs located in separate buildings on the campus.
