Art & Design

Our Department of Art and Design will help you develop your artistic and intellectual abilities, explore new areas, and discover career opportunities.

The Department of Art and Design at Drake University is based on the idea that all the visual arts, including the most revolutionary, must arise from a sound training in the traditional studio arts and from a firm understanding of art's history. This foundation is as necessary for design as it is for painting or sculpture.
