Visual Arts
Washburn's Visual Arts Department helps students develop their visual art skills in a supportive, rigorous environment.
With a dedicated teaching staff and the support of the artistic community, students pursue areas of interest including drawing, painting, ceramics and IB Art with a mixed media course called Studio Art as a prerequisite.
Washburn students graduate with a broad range of experience and the skills necessary to succeed in postsecondary studies.
