The same principle of teaching studio arts in the context of a liberal education applies today. The Program in Visual Arts at the Lewis Center offers courses in painting, drawing, photography, film and video, sculpture, installation and ceramics, and provides students access to such resources as darkrooms; a sculpture shop; a printmaking shop for lithography, etching and silk screening; computer labs for video editing, digital photography and graphics; as well as painting and drawing studios.
