The mission of the Department of Art and Design at Harding University is to produce graduates who are knowledgeable, creative, and engaged professionals deeply rooted in Christian values. A dedicated, student-focused faculty, who strive to embody these same qualities through a Christ-centered approach to creative expression, scholarship, mentoring, teaching and service, carries out this mission.
Goals
- Christ-like: foster within students a global perspective of art and design excellence defined by compassionate, Christ-like service to others.
- Knowledgeable: promote within the academic setting, lifelong intellectual growth through the pursuit of progressive, innovative and sustainable understanding of art, design, technology, information and research.
- Creative: inspire and provide a culture of creativity and critically diverse thinking grounded in the framework of fine arts, pure design and applied design principles.
- Professional: mentor and infuse Christ-like professional behavior in art and design practices and procedures, ethics and integrity, business relationships and work excellence.
- Engaged: stimulate a passion and advocacy for the visual arts and design professions through active engagement in professional communities and relationships, and exposure to art and design diversity.
The department reserves the right for each teacher of an art class to retain one example of each student’s work each semester for addition to the department’s permanent collection.
