Art Major: Overview

The Ozarks art program seeks to teach students to understand and appreciate a wide variety of artworks, to be aware of the traditions out of which those works have grown, and to develop their own creativity in a number of different media.

"Moral Consumption"

Art, Ozarks art major Angela Teeter said, doesn't explain; it exposes. "I like visual art that puts the metaphors out there bluntly and then lets you connect the dots. You have to meet it halfway. If it's too easy it's boring. Art exposes an idea for what it is and then tricks people into realizing truths." Read about Angela's senior art exhibit, "Moral Consumption."

As an Ozarks art student, you can experiment with new techniques in drawing, painting and printmaking, or express your ideas in three-dimensional media such as wood, metal or clay.

With dedicated faculty on hand to encourage, the breathtaking Ozark Mountains nearby to inspire, and the Stephens Art Gallery readily available to display your artwork, as an art student at Ozarks, you'll have everything you need to express your creativity!
