We in the visual arts department at Fordham will train you in the skills, techniques, and critical understanding of the field that you need to develop your singular voice. Our class sizes are small and our perspective is big. We believe all of New York City is your campus. Museum and gallery tours, studio visits, and visiting artist lectures are an integral part of the curriculum. Study on our Lincoln Center campus for in-the-thick-of-it experience just steps from MoMA, the Guggenheim, and the Met. Or head uptown to Rose Hill, where the Visual Arts complex has a beautiful, well-lit studio space with terrazzo floors and skylights for painting and drawing, and a state-of-the-art computer lab. Either way, a short subway or train ride brings you you to the endless galleries and arts activities of Chelsea, Soho, Williamsburg, and TriBeCa. We believe educational diversity is critical to the training of an artist—and that creativity and visual understanding are integral parts of a broadly searching mind. That’s why you’ll learn more than visual arts here. You’ll also study philosophy, theology, history, literature, mathematics, languages, science, and the performing arts through Fordham’s common core curriculum, the centerpiece of our liberal arts education. Photography Photography classes provide students with a thorough understanding of camera operation, darkroom techniques, photographic history, and critical context. Students are encouraged to utilize the medium as a means to explore visual communication and aesthetic invention. After a two-course introduction, students may take courses in documentary, color, digital, and view camera technique, followed by an independent project in the senior year.
