The mission of the Department of Art is to offer studio and art history programs linked to the College's liberal arts foundation, preparing graduates for a variety of professional options. Additionally, the department is committed to offering visual arts courses that complement the liberal education of all students at Otterbein.
At Otterbein, art students create in an environment of inquiry. Faculty seek to introduce students to an understanding of the artistic process and encourage them to commit themselves to the creation of meaningful works of art. Courses in art history provide an understanding of the historical and theoretical framework of the visual arts.
The Art Department offers a major in Art with concentrations in ceramics, computer art, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and visual communication. Students may also pursue licensure in Art Education.
