What it is	You study the design and creation of jewellery and textiles using both traditional craft techniques and modern materials. Unlike a purely fine art program, this combines artistic vision with practical knowledge of how materials behave and how to construct wearable or functional pieces. It suits people who want to make things with their hands, enjoy experimenting with colour and form, and see themselves as artist-craftspeople rather than purely visual artists.	You study the history of visual art and design, learning to analyze images, objects, and cultural movements across time periods and societies. This differs from a studio art program because you focus on understanding and interpreting art rather than creating it yourself. It suits people who want to think critically about visual culture and understand how art reflects and shapes society.	This program teaches you how to design and produce printed materials and publications, from traditional printmaking techniques like etching and screen printing to digital design and book production. Unlike a general fine arts program, it focuses specifically on the skills and technologies involved in creating work for print and publication. It suits people who want to combine visual creativity with the technical craft of making things people can hold and read.
