Art Minor (Non-Licensable) (M)
At Concordia University Wisconsin, our Art Minor is all about fostering a community of creative minds, deeply invested in expressing compelling narratives through their art. Our educational approach is rooted in Lutheran principles, emphasizing integrity, service, and respect throughout our curriculum. We aim to ignite a passion for blending time-honored techniques like ceramics, painting, and jewelry making with modern digital art forms, creating a dynamic space where creativity and purpose converge.
Our top-notch facilities act as a creative playground, enabling students to refine their skills across diverse art mediums, while staying abreast of the industry's evolving tools and techniques. Our educational journey is not just about artistic skill-building; it also delves into the ethical dimensions of art, highlighting the role and responsibilities of artists in society.
We're dedicated to preparing our students for the real world, ensuring they leave with a comprehensive portfolio that demonstrates their technical expertise and a deep understanding of art as a catalyst for positive change. Our ultimate goal is to nurture each student into becoming a visionary Christian leader, equipped to make meaningful contributions to the world with a blend of faith-driven confidence and artistic brilliance.
The Art Minor consists of 21 credit hours of course work, offering an interdisciplinary learning experience. Students will learn a variety of experiential as well as technological art forms in this cross-functional integrated journey into the arts. Students have access to a state of the art Mac lab with up to date software and archival printing capabilities.
