Studio Art - Miami University - Oxford

Studio Art from Miami University - Oxford is a Campus Bachelor Fine Art degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. What is Studio Art? Art is a means of expression and communication and a way to explore the world in which we live. Artists use various creative techniques, such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, drawing, photography, metalworking, and graphic design to invent images that communicate or influence ideas, emotions, and messages to others. What are the features of Miami's program? Small classes The department's average teacher/student ratio of 14:1 creates an intimate classroom environment, and our out-of-class activities allow faculty, staff, and students to become well-acquainted. Broad exposure Miami's art department, accredited through the National Association of Schools of Art and Design, brings together students of varied interests and talents: students who are studying to be practicing artists, students who are preparing to be art teachers, and students who are concentrating on art history. Often, art classes are composed of students from each of these three areas. This enriches and broadens exposure to different points of view. Creative study Studio art majors can participate in competitions sponsored by the department. Regular exhibition opportunities are available through the art department and in a final show of work in a senior exhibition. You will also be encouraged to participate in regional and national competitions. Study abroad Although study abroad is valuable to any student, art students can benefit especially from this rich experience.
