PUSH PAST THE BOUNDARIES
OF YOUR CREATIVITY www.iwu.edu/art
“ A s an art student you become very close with the professors in the department; there’s a strong sense of community. Everyone wants to see each other improve and succeed, especially your professors. They are the biggest help in broadening your artistic horizons and helping improve your skill and mindset in your work.” — Rebecca Kordas ’20 iw u major :
Art
Will you recreate, or be the artist who CREATES AESTHETIC EXPRESSIONS that move and inspire? Close your eyes and picture your next four years. Do they include the opportunities to draw, paint, design, create ceramics, sculpt, photograph, blow glass or make prints? In the Ames School of Art, the study and pursuit of art comes alive with the whir of a blowtorch, the aroma of inks and paints and the subtle quiet of the Merwin and Wakeley Galleries. Set your creativity free in our blend of cutting edge studio classrooms, semi-private studios, and modern graphic design computer lab. Our faculty are talented artists in their own right, and with an average class size of 10, their mentorship and guidance is only as far away as your easel.
THE SCHOOL OF ART
“ Coming in Undeclared as a freshman, I wasn’t sure what to expect out of the art department when I declared a Graphic Design major, but it exceeded all of my expectations! I love how caring and involved all of my professors are, and how they truly allow me to be myself.” — Emily Chapman ’19 iw u major :
