Department of Art and Art History
Through creative and scholarly study, competence is developed in
the studio arts on both technical and conceptual levels. The discipline
of art history methodologies are approached from a phenomenological and
critical stance. The faculty seeks to develop unique capabilities for
individual artistic expression and to provide students with the
intellectual and aesthetic means to make informed choices in a rapidly
changing world.
To implement these goals, the faculty is
committed to excellence in teaching, vitalized by creative activity and
scholarly research. The Studio Art and Art History faculty at LMU
provide a solid pedagogy in the visual arts while expanding
humanitarian and social consciousness in their students. The department
is deeply committed to a curricular flexibility which reflects the
technological, intellectual, professional, and aesthetic needs of our
students.
