Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Studio Art] From Louisiana State University

The Studio Art program is offered by the Louisiana State University

The College of Art & Design is a community of engaged students and faculty committed to speculative endeavors in all aspects of the visual arts and design disciplines.

The college community’s core is fundamental practices while recognizing the challenge of creative activity are met by mining the core of traditional disciplines and exploring the interstices between disciplines.

The college recognizes that critical investigations in art and design occur in a context of regional, national, and global concerns. These contexts are meaningful only when referenced to a framework of one’s immediate cultural and physical context. The college faculty constructs these frames of reference through general education, discipline specific education, interdisciplinary investigations, creative activities, colloquia, and community outreach.

The college’s student and faculty collaborators value inquiry-based learning, encourage a spirit of risk taking, excite an appetite for thinking and making, nurture a capacity to create, and passionately pursue the means to capitalize on the opportunities thereby presented.

As a key component of the arts and cultural community, the college advances the role of the artist/designer in the broader community through distinctive public education and exhibition programs that serve the citizens of Louisiana with an enriched appreciation of culture.
