In your second year, you grow your command of art history through the critical study of modern and contemporary pieces ranging from Indigenous art to Renaissance classics.
No matter what discipline you choose to study, well-designed studios, dynamic faculty, and a dedicated community network make UFV Fine Arts a highly supportive environment for studying the creative arts.
