Visual Arts and Communication, Media and Film

Visual Arts provides a strong foundation in studio practices (drawing, painting, print/digital/integrated media, photography, sculpture, bio art, etc.) and art history with exhibition opportunities and exposure to regional cultural institutions.

 

It offers opportunities for internship placements to obtain hands-on experience in areas including media production/post-production; advertising, marketing and public relations; arts administration and festival organization.

 

Communication, Media and Film engages the rapidly changing media environment and the implications of emerging digital technologies/platforms.

 

It provides state-of-the-art production/post-production facilities featuring industry-standard equipment and software.

 

The Visual Arts and Communication, Media and Film program includes courses in drawing, painting, print media, photography, sculpture, bio art and integrated media (digital imaging, sound and video). We offer a complete range of advanced, industry-standard digital media equipment and state-of-the-art post-production labs. Our teaching and studio facilities are also complemented by project and internship opportunities at on-campus and off-campus media outlets, production houses and local arts and cultural organizations.

 

Our studio faculty members exhibit their own work nationally and internationally, and our art history faculty members are invited to lecture in other communities both in Canada and abroad. Among our graduates are nationally known artists, faculty at universities in both Canada and the US, and curators in major art galleries.

 

We have a newly established Incubator Lab that provides the opportunity to explore Bio Art. Our Green Corridor course is an interdisciplinary study of art and the environment.
