Art and Design

The studio art specialization offers foundations in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and photography. Our studio curriculum addresses technical and material means of visual expression while allowing students to focus on issues inherent in one's work.

The Fine Art specialization develops creative and critical thinking, guiding you to transform abstract ideas into compelling visual forms. Grounded in studio practice and art history, the curriculum frames your work within cultural, political, and social contexts.

In this increasing visual, digital and global world, graphic design touches every aspect of peoples’ lives. The graphic design specialization will raise your awareness about the knowledge and themes that surround visual communication design.

The Art Gallery at UWF (TAG) seeks to challenge, stimulate, and engage students and the greater public through direct interaction with works of contemporary art. TAG features an annual series of revolving exhibitions that highlight student work as well as regional, national, and international artists.
