The
Art + Art History Department of Florida International
University provides a sanctuary for the development of new visions,
ideas and techniques. Studio art majors will have the opportunity
to work in a wide variety of disciplines acquiring all the basic skills
while exploring a range of new possibilities. Students of Art History
will learn the research methodology, theory and criticism necessary
for the contemporary practice of Art History. The interactivity of
our Studio Art and Art History programs helps students define their
own roles as artists and art historians in today's world. This
communal atmosphere encourages artistic camaraderie, engendering trust
and a climate conducive to intellectual and aesthetic growth. We provide
many opportunities for each student including visiting artist seminars,
workshops and study abroad programs. The Art and Art History Department
is fully accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art
and Design (NASAD).
FIU is located on two campuses in southwest and northeast Miami Dade
County, and serves a truly international population of local residents
and those of many European, Latin American and Caribbean countries.
South Florida is garnering much attention from the international art
community for such events as Art Basel, Art Miami, and Art Palm Beach
and both faculty and students of the department are regular participants
in their many projects.
