RESOURCES FOR:
Drawing and painting, photography, ceramics, graphics, sculpture and printmaking—all are important to art instruction at Southwestern Illinois College.
Full-time and part-time faculty members are degreed professional artists, known in their fields. They exhibit nationally and are called upon to lecture, consult and judge shows in the Illinois/Missouri area as well as throughout the nation. In addition to your classroom experience, you may have the opportunity to show your work in campus exhibits and see firsthand the techniques of reputed artists who are brought to the campus for seminars.
Personal directions within the visual arts should be coordinated with the art faculty as soon as possible.
