Art and Design

Sterling's Art and Design Department offers a B.F.A. and B.A. degree

Sterling College's Art and Design Department has maintained its competitive edge while also remaining faithful to its Christian heritage in the visual arts. The goal of the Art and Design Department is to prepare students to compete in the arena of ideas by providing the best CHRIST-centered liberal arts department in the nation. We believe the Sterling Art and Design Department has the faculty talent and the phsyical facilities that make this goal possible.

Our classes in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and foundation design supply the core courses needed for students entering our graphic design, animation and upper-level fine art courses. With a new darkroom addition to the Art and Design Department, we offer classes in traditional photography as well.

Our faculty members in the Art and Design Department are here to serve the needs of the students and prepare them spiritually, skillfully, and professionally in the visual arts to make a positive impact on the world through their careers. Through the use of real-world situations and assignments in the classroom and in coursework, the Art and Design faculty prepare students to take the design concepts and creative skills they have learned to graduate school or dynamic job opportunities.

Curriculum

Great scholarships at Sterling give students the opportunity to learn while on a budget

The Art and Design department provides a flexible, varied, and well-balanced group of art experiences that lead to an acquaintance with art history and appreciation, and to individual creative growth and expression through visual and tactile means. The offerings meet the needs of three types of students: those wishing to major in art in preparation for advancement academically or professionally, including studio art and computer graphics; those wanting an understanding of art as part of their liberal arts education; and those preparing to teach art at any level.
