Saint Louis University's studio art program provides students with experience and guidance in creating art. Students explore their individual artistic abilities while learning to understand and appreciate art in a global context. Connections across disciplines and cultural differences help students gain a conceptual and intellectual framework for their art. Students leave with a portfolio of work and an appreciation of the development of their own values and creative skills as well as an understanding of the artistic processes, expressions and values of others.

Studio art at Saint Louis University provides an opportunity to gain artistic skill and knowledge in various artistic media within the rigorous and supporting framework of a Catholic, Jesuit University.

All courses offered in the studio art program are taught by student-focused faculty, not graduate assistants. That means all majors and minors in studio art will study and interact directly with faculty, who are active and professional members of their artistic field.

Curriculum Overview

Courses are offered in ceramics, computer art, drawing, fibers, graphic design, installation, painting, photography, printmaking, social practice and sculpture. Studio art majors can concentrate in these emphasis areas: ceramics, sculpture, computer art, drawing, graphic design, painting and printmaking.

Through hands-on experience, students develop observational skills and expand their understanding of artmaking. The process of making art fosters an investigation of personal beliefs and spiritual reflection. Artistic growth is celebrated through student art exhibits and documented in student portfolios.
