ART+DESIGN Living Learning Community application

What is the Art + Design Living Learning Community?

 

Art + Design Living Learning Community (A+D LLC) was created to provide BFA ART and BFA ART EDUCATION majors with the opportunity to experience the transition to a larger university in smaller, more personal group. The community is designed to assist in the academic transition to a university instruction, to support the student-faculty interactions beyond the classroom, and to encourage positive student connections within the School of Art and Design.

In A+D LLC, we discover how to be a successful artist and/or designer and student, connect directly with faculty, and explore the disciplines and resources of the school from dark rooms and weaving looms to a wood shop and 3D printers. We investigate each of the school’s programs including animation/interactive design, art education, art history, ceramics, cinematic arts and media production (film), graphic design, illustration, metal design (jewelry), painting, photography, printmaking sculpture, and textile design.You will live in Garrett Residence Hall, just footsteps away from Jenkins Fine Arts Center.

We have fun! Our programming is meant to foster community and prepare students for future art careers. Each year we host several art workshops, an LLC art exhibition, and field trips.
