| The mission of the Art Department of Jamestown College is to prepare students in visual creativity, interpersonal and group communications proficiency , and to provide for them a learning experience that will help develop their personal growth within the college's liberal arts curriculum.

| The Art Department Sanctuary |
| |
| At Jamestown College our commitment is to whole-person education. We attempt to involve students in a well-balanced program where there is opportunity for individualized portfolios, experiential learning, internships and/or supervised practice, work study within the major department, supervised teaching and problem solving. Students seeking individual majors in areas outside the catalog may design an individual major. On occasion during the summer months, the art students may have the opportunity to attend camp (primitive style) in the Badlands of South Dakota. In addition to independent study courses and unique research opportunities, the art department during a four-year cycle, offers the foundation courses. |
