“All Georgia Southern students pursuing a major in studio arts are required to take foundation courses that include drawing and two- and three-dimensional design,” said Marc Mitchell, gallery director and assistant professor in the BFSDoArt. “The rigorous coursework that comprises the foundations program helps to create the solid infrastructure needed for a career in the Fine Arts. The Foundations exhibition honors the effort of outstanding beginning art students and demonstrates the expectations placed on future students at BFSDoArt.”
