Description

Your students will explore the elements of art, principles of design, and the historical and cultural contexts in which art is created. In addition, we are looking for someone who is interested in helping us reinvigorate an art culture on campus. This might mean teaching studio art, developing partnerships with local art museums, advising a student art organization, facilitating a student art exhibit, or assisting our Theater program with set design. We are open to hearing how you envision meeting us where we are but also helping us realize a goal of infusing more of the arts into our community
