Spelman College fosters a culture where students come first. In the Student Affairs division, we have more than 30 programs, services and experiences that will connect with the lives of every Spelman student during their collegiate career.
Art is the creative expression of ideas, personal identity, and culture that enriches the world in which we live. It builds community, offers new perspectives, and provides unique insight to diverse traditions, philosophies and history.
Students are provided with the knowledge and skills to effectively create art and understand it as visual rhetoric with histories, traditions and emerging theories that critique and advance the field.
Creating original work using various digital technologies in the Innovation Lab further enhances the majors. The department supports intellectual curiosity, experimentation, and highlights art making and its relationship to aesthetic, civic, cultural, social systems and technology.
In addition to understanding and making art, students will develop skills related to the entrepreneurial side of the arts.
