Bachelor's in Visual Arts

Visual Arts is a Bachelor program taught at Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, Canada. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.

Lakehead University’s Visual Arts degree is a hands-on program designed to develop technical and conceptual skills for making art. Students learn to communicate visually through drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and ceramics, while building studio skills through practical applications. The curriculum also includes art history and art theory, plus professional development, and outreach opportunities with local art galleries and creative organizations.

Studio learning is supported by a close-knit department and personal attention in studio class settings. The program includes an annual field trip to visit museums and galleries. In the final year, courses in Professional Practices for Artists and Exhibition Planning prepare students to build a studio practice after graduation, including grant writing, exhibiting in the gallery system, promotion/marketing, and writing an artist statement.
