The arts embody some of the highest aspirations of the human spirit. Convinced of this, the mission of the St. Joseph’s College Art Department is to introduce students to the depth of this form of human expression. Students are exposed to art from diverse periods and cultures to develop their aesthetic awareness and deepen their critical senses. They are directed to create works that address technical proficiency, conceptual exploration and self-expression. Through observation and research, students develop their abilities to analyze and articulate the connections between art and life. In this context we endeavor to bring students to the awareness that art transcends time and embraces culture; it is our link with the past, our identity with the present and a means of informing the future.
