We live in a visual world: images flicker from televisions, movie screens, computer monitors, billboards, shops. With such distractions, how do visual artists and designers get their work noticed?

The Art and Design curriculum addresses the question through studio courses, lectures and seminars in many disciplines. Courses from introductory to advanced levels accommodate students with varying degrees of experience, often highlighting specific tools, techniques and media. Other programs are oriented towards art aficionados seeking to use the world as their classroom. In all cases, the artist, designer or art lover strips away layers of tradition and trendiness to arrive at a deeper understanding of the world of visual communication.
