University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) - Art Department

The mission of the Art Department is to impart an informed understanding of art through discerning observation and studio practice. Students are taught traditional art skills as a foundation for future growth. A solid grounding in art history engages them in the major ideas of art. From these beginnings, students venture toward their own unique modes of expression. Our aim is to recognize the dignity of each student and promote an atmosphere for individual accomplishment. Innovative problem solving and professional competence are instilled in each class.
