The Department of Art offers professional art training with an emphasis on interdisciplinary experimentation, equity, and inclusion in art. The core studio curriculum is supported by courses in art history, theory, and criticism, and empowers students to reshape their worlds through critical inquiry and transformative creativity. Students are exposed to a broad range of approaches to making and interpreting art, as well as diverse perspectives on the role of art and artists in society. Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree coursework and Master of Fine Arts (MFA) areas of study include ceramics, interdisciplinary studio, new genres, painting and drawing, photography, and sculpture. Students are encouraged to work intensively within and across these areas of study to find their own voices and craft their own practices. Art majors have access to departmental labs in each area of study as well as a digital studio. Additionally, the Hammer Museum and the Fowler Museum at UCLA are among the many arts resources available to students, both on campus and in the Los Angeles community.
The Art Department reserves the right to use documentation and reproductions of student art work from studio courses, student exhibitions, and other records of creative work in publications including, but not limited to, the undergraduate and graduate brochures and publications, department and school websites, social media, and presentations and events related to student recruitment and outreach.
