Art Studio Minor

Shawnee State University's Minor in Art Studio offers a fantastic way for students in any major to explore and develop their artistic talents. This program is designed to help you not only build your technical skills as an artist but also to express your ideas visually and think critically about your creations. The minor requires 21 semester hours of both art and art history study. You'll take a portion of the art foundations sequence and select from the Art History Survey sequence, allowing you to either focus on a specific art area or explore a broader range of artistic approaches.

Adding an Art Studio minor can be a powerful complement to almost any primary major. Many people discover their artistic side while studying something else, and this minor allows you to develop that interest. The skills you gain in an art studio, like visual communication, creative problem-solving, critical thinking, and attention to detail, are highly valued in a wide variety of careers. Whether you're studying business, science, education, or anything else, learning to express ideas visually can give you a unique edge and enhance your ability to innovate and communicate effectively in your chosen field.

At Shawnee State University, pursuing an Art Studio minor comes with some distinct advantages. You'll benefit from smaller class sizes, which means your professors will get to know you personally and can offer more individualized attention and support as you develop your skills. This creates a more engaging and hands-on learning environment. SSU's campus is also easily accessible, making it convenient to attend classes and connect with faculty and fellow students. You'll be learning from dedicated faculty who are experienced artists themselves and are committed to helping you develop your artistic voice and technical abilities.
