Art Major
Become a Visual Thinker and Visual Storyteller
The art major supports students in becoming visual thinkers and visual storytellers. It provides students with the technical aspects of making art through mixed media, digital technologies and installations as well as a working knowledge of historical and contemporary art practices.
Through the ARCHE Program, the department also offers opportunities for study at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Georgia State University, Agnes Scott College, Emory University, and several other visual arts programs throughout the state university system.
A Few More Questions is an online journal of exceptional creative and scholarly research by students in the Division of the Arts at Spelman College. A Few More Questions publish work that pushes the boundaries of creativity, technology and innovation in all forms of media, performing arts, and their related practices.
