The Studio Art program at the University of Guelph is designed to provide a progressive alternative to existing post secondary programs; one that combines equal strengths in studio practice and its conceptual and critical underpinnings. This approach has had a very positive impact on all graduates by providing them with a substantial working knowledge of both contemporary art history and studio practice, regardless of their career plans. In fact, the program is designed as a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Studio Art, rather than a Bachelor of Fine Arts. The BA allows students to more easily combine their studies in Studio Art, as Majors or Minors, with major and minor programs of study in a variety of other disciplines. The permutations are endless in terms of building their career path: graduates are successful contemporary artists, gallerists, teachers, and art therapists, among other things.
Studio Art combines the best of two worlds, providing a fundamental understanding of art history, theory and criticism with the opportunity to explore a range of media in the studio. They will learn through lectures and discussions. Diverse audio-visual materials, from digital images to videos and films, will be regular components of most courses.
Studio courses emphasize hands-on experience in art making. Students will develop not only technical and manual skills but also an awareness of historical and contemporary contexts, and formal and expressive strategies.
Students will do much of their learning in the renovated studios and facilities of historic Zavitz Hall and the Alexander Hall. Trips to major collections, galleries and museums will augment their learning experience.
