Paier College of Art is proud of its more than sixty-year tradition of training
and educating artists. We are proud of the achievements of
our students and alumni. These individuals continue to receive high recognition
from organizations representing the best in their chosen field and
they enjoy the rewards of successful careers in the visual arts.
Although the tools and methods of art are constantly changing, the
strengths of our college have not. Computers have indeed become
an important part of the artist's portfolio. These technologies
are reflected in all our departments, and the computer labs are
well equipped with the current hardware and software. However, at
Paier, computers are not an exclusive focus. In many respects, as
the power of digital imaging and communication increases, the need
for artistic fundamentals becomes even more important.
Recognizing that, our Foundation Year studies are still executed
in pencil, pen, brush, and camera. The Academic Department also
offers challenging courses in the liberal arts, contributing to
the development of the literate artist. Those who have the desire
and ability to develop as artists are a select few. Paier College
is dedicated to them–the future leaders in craft, communication,
and culture. |
