Art

Located in the Roland Fine Arts Center, the art department has spacious, modern studio facilities, as well as a well-equipped computer art lab.

Art studio classes average approximately 6-8 students; the national average is 18. Small class sizes allow professors to meet one-on-one with their students, customizing instruction to student strengths and weaknesses.

All professors in the art department are working artists and designers, engaged in maintaining a current exhibit record and other creative projects. They are involved in creating on a daily basis in their own lives.

Art Orientation, Art Community, Art Organization, and Leadership in Art, support hands on experience with real life art experiences. These courses also support mentoring with all student grade levels.

Courses are designed to develop a voice for the individual major, developing and merging both mastery in artistic skill and creative ideas.

For non-majors, HLGU Art classes give students a release from their lecture classes and offer an opportunity to explore creative ways to strengthen their educational pursuits.

HLGU's Art Club offers a way for the students to learn how to generate revenue from their art work through various club sponsored events.

Graduates from the Art Department are prepared for and have found employment in a variety of art-related careers, including graphic design, studio photography, photojournalism, and art education.
