The Fine Arts faculty is drawn from artists representing major directions in the contemporary art world, many exhibiting in major galleries and museums. Varied course offerings enable students to create programs of study particularly suited to the development of their talents and interests. Options include various media such as charcoal drawing, oil painting, etching, bronze casting, ceramics, and jewelry. All fine arts students enroll in a common sophomore year program. This enables students to examine each of the different studio art areas prior to selecting an emphasis in the junior year. The last two years of study at Pratt lead to focused aesthetic directions, developing those skills required to professionally realize them.
Pratt students learn through studio work, group discussion, lectures, seminars, individual consultations, and frequent visits to museums, galleries, and artists’ studios.
Upon entering the junior year, students focus in one of the following areas: painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, ceramics, or jewelry.
Elective opportunities in the following areas are career-oriented options open to fine arts majors: fine arts/computer graphics, fine arts/film-video, fine arts/photography, fine arts/art education, and fine arts/illustration. These programs combine a full and professional program in fine arts with opportunities to gain additional knowledge and skills important to pursuing alternative careers in the arts.
Illus & Symbolic Imagery
DRWG-321
This is a course in methods of visual thinking, problem solving and non-verbal communication. The purpose is to give the student an opportunity to explore a new vocabulary of personal symbols that is not dependent on old thinking habits. This is done in a situation that enables the student to produce work free that need not fit into a particular style.
