Art and art history recognizes the inherent expressive value of art and its enrichment of the human experience.
Studying art at Agnes Scott is a unique experience. As an art or art history major or minor, youll experience ways that studio art and art history complement and inform one another. Youll also distill concepts from many other fields of studyincluding history, literature, science, anthropology and social justice.
We are a small studio art program, and we use that to our advantage with students receiving consistent personalized input into their work. With one prerequisite foundational class for all other studio areas, students get to take a wide array of classes in printmaking, sculpture, drawing, digital imaging and painting. The learning of these interdisciplinary concepts will coalesce to inspire your creative process, whether in studio practice or art-historical scholarship. Not only will you develop technical understanding and hone analytical skills, but you will also learn to think critically, act creatively and communicate articulately, giving you a strong advantage in your future pursuits.
