What do we want our students to know?
Students in our faculty experience a journey from planning to production. The courses engage learners in making judgements and justifying decisions. Our aim is to develop communication and personal expression while fostering the ability to communicate in two and three dimensional formats.
Art and Design education has a vital role to play in effecting change in our society in terms of problem solving, sharing of common understandings, wisdom of social action, and access to imagination and lifelong learning in the 21st Century.
