Department of Visual Arts
The Visual Arts Department is part of the School of Fine Arts at OBU. Housed on the second floor of Moses-Provine, the department provides instruction in the fine arts, applied arts, and arts education. Students may choose one of three degree paths; art education, graphic design, or studio art. The curriculum is designed to provide all majors with a foundation in art principles, and advanced instruction in the chosen major. Studio spaces are open for students to work in their chosen mediums, including painting, drawing, ceramics, mixed media, and computer graphics during class instruction as well as after-hours. The department also maintains the Hammons Gallery, in the Mabee Fine Arts Center. Gallery exhibitions include works by regional artists, faculty members, and most often, the work of students. Each major participates in the Senior Exhibition prior to graduation.
