Program Description

If you are a driven, creative and freethinking person dedicated to exploring your own expressive potential, the Fine Arts major may be for you. Flagler College offers a Fine Arts faculty dedicated to the artistic growth of each individual student. Our program combines traditional modes of study such as drawing, painting and sculpture, with the freedom to invent new forms of visual and conceptual meaning in advanced courses.

Fine Arts students will experience an inspired faculty of professional artists, a thorough foundations program and the freedom to explore their own creative visions.
