If research can be broadly defined as expanding the knowledge base of
a particular discipline, then the study and the pursuit of the visual
arts exemplifies the spirit of such endeavor. Central to any successful
research project, may it be in the visual arts or in the sciences, is
the creative engagement of the intellect. The process of art making and
the study of its history at its core is the recognition and celebration
of this creative energy.
Our faculty in Studio Art and Art History actively engage in research:
whether it is about a new ceramic casting technique so more organic forms
can be realized in clay multiples, or a new way to understand urban planning
in Rome during the age of Pope Alexander VII. Our faculty continue to
contribute to the knowledge bases in their fields through their research.
