ART AND DESIGN

Trinity's Department of Art and Design offers majors in art studio in fine art with concentrations in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography and printmaking; art studio in graphic design; and art education; and minors in art studio, graphic design, and art history. Built on the creative and intellectual foundation of the fine arts, the art department offers concentrations of courses that can lead to graduate school in fine art or careers in the graphic arts. The art education program leads to Illinois certifi cation for teaching art from Kindergarten through 12th grade. These programs culminate with an internship and an exhibition in the Seerveld Gallery.

The gallery program is central to the art department. The Seerveld Gallery exhibits work by a wide range of artists from those who are internationally known to emerging artists. Students have opportunities to exhibit their own work on "The Wall," at Patmos, the student gallery, and also in the Seerveld Gallery. Student designers can work for the Student Design Organization doing design for campus events and occasionally for local businesses. In short, students begin to think and act like artists and designers long before their internships and graduation place them in the larger culture.
