Visual Arts

Visual Arts

The Visual Arts use form, color, texture, and spatial composition to make thought visible. They translate perception and imagination into objects and images that engage both the senses and the intellect. Their essence lies not in language but in sight as a medium of meaning—the shaping of material into symbol.
