Welcome to the Department of Art
 |
The Nicholls State University Department of Art is much more than just an art program — it’s a well rounded, creative family of friends just waiting for students like you. Our programs cater to the success of our students, and we are committed to ensuring that our Department of Art is one of the most experienced, qualified and equipped schools in Louisiana. Just take a look at what we have to offer.
Ceramics. Want to play in clay and practice some “pyrotechnics” on our fresh new pottery pad? Pottery, ceramic sculpture, new kilns … you name it, we’ve got it.
Sculpture. Maybe you want to pour some molten metal in the foundry, whittle wood or weld bronze? Check out our sculpture area and let us help you redefine “hot.”
Papermaking. Metal too heavy you say? Then create your own handmade paper or experiment by creating paper sculptures in our Papermaking Lab. Our pulp is all fact, not fiction.
Printmaking. While you’re there, why don’t you try your hand at printing? Lithography, silkscreens or wood cuts with new technology make our Printmaking Studio a place to practice old techniques with today’s advancements.
Photography. Students can choose to go “old school” by processing and developing prints in our black and white darkroom. Or, perhaps you choose to go digital with advancements in digital imaging.
Painting and Drawing. Want to learn to paint or draw like they did “back in the day,” or do you want to turn Van Gogh on his ear and break new ground? There’s a double post easel with your name on it in the Painting and Drawing studios.
Graphic Design. Like computers and design? Our design program has students lining up at the door to our recently upgraded Graphic Design Studio. In Fall 2007, our lab will also be equipped with video editing and sound stations plus all the latest versions of professional software.
Art History and Art Education. Scholars are welcome. There’s no snoozing in our art history classes! Smart Boards with state-of-the-art audio systems really put students “inside” the Great Master’s studio.
Come and see what everyone’s talking about. If you’re going to be an artist, there’s no better place to be.
