To set yourself apart in today’s design world, you need more than software skills. The design studio concentration starts with a foundation in seeing, doing, touching and making. Using the industry-standard Adobe suite as our software platform, our approach weaves print and screen, analog and digital into a process of creating that is comfortable in a multitude of design-centered fields.
Art is integral to our calling as followers of Jesus. We were made by our maker to be makers, and making art brings us closer to the heart of God’s creativity. Why is the natural world overflowing with beauty and aesthetic pleasure? The simple answer is that God cares about beauty and aesthetic pleasure. We believe that art-making is a way of following God, and we seek to emulate God’s way of creating with beauty, purpose and functionality. And because we’re rooted in the Christian liberal arts, we also consider art-making to be essential to broader learning in areas like theology, philosophy, psychology, literature and languages.
