Cornish Programs
Art
Students in the Art Department are immersed in an education dedicated to thinking through making. They learn to balance the necessary skill-sets of an education in the arts: technical development, research, collaboration, and experimentation. Along the way, faculty support, challenge and mentor students as they build the skills and knowledge essential to a career as a working artist.
