The Art Department at Mills College includes both studio art and art history. The Studio Art Program is idea based and intended to balance formal and conceptual approaches. The program focuses on the creative process, critical thinking, and visual ideas. Students learn the use of materials and techniques to facilitate their creative ideas. Historical and contemporary art are studied so that the student understands the context of her own work. Students work with professional, internationally recognized artists and teachers in the areas of painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, and electronic arts. The Art Department also offers the Correnah W. Wright Lecture Series on Contemporary Art, which features prominent artists and writers (speakers to date have included Dave Hickey, Fred Wilson, Catherine Opie, May Stevens, Komar and Melamid, Dinh Q. Le, and Shahzia Sikander), and the Jane Green Endowment for Studies in Art History and Criticism (speakers to date have included Lucy R. Lippard, Linda Nochlin, Vishakha Desai, Elizabeth Cropper, Alberto Manguel, Apinan Poshyananda, Whitney Chadwick, Deborah Willis, Wu Hung, and Catherine de Zegher). Art students can enrich their academic experience through participation in Mills-affiliated study abroad programs in Europe and Asia, or through exchange programs with colleges on the East Coast. On campus, the Mills College Art Museum provides students with experience in all phases of museum work, including curatorial duties, installation, and cataloging. To support students' research interests, the slide library offers more than 130,000 images illustrating arts and cultures worldwide. Mills also offers a master of fine arts degree in studio art, described in the Graduate Catalog. |
