Students are encouraged to immerse themselves in an interdisciplinary program that explores the social, conceptual, and aesthetic possibilities of art. Central to UIC's approach are studio courses with internationally renowned faculty that engage students in independent research and encourage the development of significant creative work. Studio courses utilize an array of media, including drawing, painting, photography, moving image, new media arts, performance, and sculpture. In addition to studio courses, students participate in seminars that interrogate the practice and theory of contemporary art. The Art major is designed to offer an interdisciplinary experience that mirrors contemporary cross-media art practices. Art majors have the flexibility to choose to concentrate in one of four areas (New Media Arts, Moving Image, Photography, and Studio Arts) or steadily pursue coursework in all media throughout their four years.
