Studio Art, Minor
Saint Louis University offers a studio art minor to students studying on our main campus and at Saint Louis University-Madrid.
The minor includes Foundational Experience in Drawing and 2D Design, plus a course in a three-dimensional medium: 3D Design, Ceramics I, Sculpture I or Fibers and Textiles. Studio art minors are also required to take an art history course, choosing from various cultural and historical topics. These four courses allow students to gain skills in observational drawing and visual organization in two and three dimensions and an understanding of aesthetics, theory and context for art-making.
Students must complete a minimum total of 21 credits for the minor.
