As our culture grows increasingly dependent on visual imagery, we need to understand how the visual aspects of our world affect our actions and our interactions with the world around us. In the art and art history department, students and faculty work through visual problems, study past and present visual cultures, and join in the production of art as it shapes our world. Students with degrees in art studio and art history leave with a visual acuity and an historical understanding which prove of great value in most careers. By exploring the visual world at St. Mary's, students can shape that world throughout their lives.
