Visual Art
Originality. Problem solving. Deep thinking. Discipline. The habits and skills you develop in the visual arts can be applied to many career paths. Wheaton’s visual art major will provide you expert instruction, sunny studios, state-of-the-art spaces, and the right tools and equipment—and you’ll bring the inspiration and creativity. See what comes to life as you learn techniques in design, drawing, filmmaking, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. Art blends well with many disciplines, making this an excellent minor or second major.
