Whether you’re interested in drawing, painting, photography, film, or design, Hiram’s new Art & Design major will help you explore your passion while challenging you to become a well-rounded creative thinker and visual problem solver. Through a flexible curriculum, intimate class sizes, and close collaboration with their peers and faculty members, students are able to combine creativity with practical skills.

All majors begin with taking a core set of design and history courses that develop technical, formal, and conceptual skills. Students then have the opportunity to specialize in one of three pathways: studio art, photography/film, or digital design studies.

Throughout their time at Hiram College, students will compose a portfolio of diverse pieces that express their growth that includes many of the projects they develop. Toward the end of their exploration in these pathways, students immerse themselves in upper level courses that culminate in a capstone experience: the presentation of a technically proficient and conceptually cohesive visual portfolio. Art & Design majors will produce a body of visual work that expresses an original statement on a single idea or concept. This work will demonstrate an understanding of the creative process and an awareness of contemporary issues, art history, ideas from other disciplines, and/or aspects of personal experience. Often, this capstone experience is showcased in the Gelbke Fine Arts Gallery in a Senior Class Exhibition.

At Hiram, the educational experience we offer is unlike any other, with programs designed to help you find your passion. Through engaging coursework, research, and experiential activities, you’ll learn to think critically and analytically, to design, communicate, innovate, and appreciate diverse viewpoints. Hiram is here to help you develop the skills you need to build the future you’ve always imagined.

Hiram will give you the tools to succeed in college and long after you graduate: in careers you aspire to build and in the personal life you dream of leading. Smart use of technology and a cutting-edge curriculum will take you where you want to go.
