The Art Department affirms that a theoretical and working understanding of the historical meanings and studio applications of the human image are critical in the education of Visual Art and Art History students. To develop such an understanding, Art Department courses often utilize images of clothed and unclothed human figures and, in certain studio classes, live nude models.
