Interdisciplinary Studio explores non-linear methods for investigating creative work. It discusses how as visual artists, writing, research, and critical discourse must be used to supplement making. We live in a time where artwork can be anything from a set of instructions, an artifact on eBay, or a feature length film, so the ability to dissect and communicate concept is very important. Students will experiment with new methods and materials, and will learn how to combine media. Playful investigation is encouraged, but projects are grounded in thoughtful engagement with the topics.

The Foundation Studies Program comprises a series of sequential courses taken by all B.F.A. in Art and B.A. in Art degree-seeking students. These courses occur during the first two consecutive semesters of a student's first year within the Fine Arts Department at Winthrop University. Concepts contained in these courses serve to educate the beginning student on broad issues concerning art and art history in order to adequately prepare them for their area of specialization.
