DD is just beginning her college exploration, and has an interest in both science and “realistic” art (think Michaelangelo). This type of art is not always taught - many programs are more experimental in focus. Can anyone comment on the art program here, and whether a student like this would be excited working with the current faculty? (Bonus points for any specific professor recommendations!) Believe it or not, figure drawing, realistic portraits, etc are not a current focus at many schools - kind of out of fashion. Thanks so much!!!
Hi @shoot4moon, although we have a very strong and diverse set of sciences at Quinnipiac (health sciences, liberal arts sciences & engineering), we don’t have a fine arts major for that area of interest. The closest major at QU would be our Interactive Digital Design major. The IDD major is focused on design with electronic platforms and print. Let me know if you any questions with IDD or our sciences. Thanks and good luck in the college search search process!
