Studying art at Agnes Scott is a unique experience. As an art or art history major or minor, you’ll experience ways that studio art and art history complement and inform one another. You’ll also distill concepts from many other fields of study—including history, literature, science, anthropology and social justice. These interdisciplinary concepts will coalesce to inspire your creative process, whether in studio practice or art-historical scholarship. Not only will you develop technical understanding and hone analytical skills, but you will also learn to think critically, act creatively and communicate articulately, giving you a strong advantage in your future pursuits.
Before you graduate, you will experience vibrant art events on and off campus, meet key figures in the art world in Atlanta, develop your own practice within a dynamic and diverse community of scholars and deliver public presentations on contemporary art.
Art History
With an art history major or minor, you will trace the role that art plays across different eras and cultures. The foundation of the major is a semester-long introduction to art history that serves as a springboard to upper-level courses on various themes and chronological periods.
Studio Art
With a studio art major or minor, you will be introduced to a variety of media including printmaking, drawing, digital art, painting and sculpture. Advanced studio workshops will encourage you to combine different media, expanding your range of expression.
Other Unique Program Features:
The City of Atlanta
For an artist, the world is her medium, the city her canvas. Agnes Scott’s proximity to the city of Atlanta promises rich cultural offerings. Visits to the many galleries, museums and artists’ studios in the metropolitan area will complement your course of study.
The Dana Fine Arts Building
You will have the opportunity to showcase your work and experience a stimulating variety of exhibits in the Dana Fine Arts Building. Designed by John Portman, the building incorporates individual and class studio spaces; a digital design lab; a multi-media lecture hall; Winter Theatre and The Dalton Gallery. The gallery hosts shows of historical and contemporary art works and incorporates at least one student exhibition each year.
International Opportunities
The art department encourages you to participate in faculty-led Global Awareness or Global Connections programs as well as semester-long and year-long opportunities abroad to study studio art and art history. There is no substitute for seeing great works of art in person. The artist’s eye and spirit draw inspiration from such exposure, which persists through a lifetime.
