Visual Arts

The Visual Arts at Gonzaga can take many forms, from paintings to digital creations and almost everything in between.

Students in our Visual Arts classes learn primarily through hands-on, participatory experiences. For example, as students progress through the curriculum of arts elective courses, they’ll experiment with dry media (such as graphite, charcoal, and pastel), painting, and sculpture, then move on to creating 3-D architectural models or computer generated art. Other offerings include classes in photography and graphic design.

Students interested in sharing their artwork with the school community have a variety of outlets and different ways to expand their skillset outside of the classroom.

The Phoenix

The Phoenix is Gonzaga’s literary and visual arts compilation. It is published each spring by student editors who are moderated by a faculty member. It features a wide cross-section of original poetry, short stories, essays, studio art, and photography, and is a true testament to the artistic talents that abound in the Gonzaga student community.

Fine Arts Club

This student-driven club is open to all and meets weekly, giving students a space to work on and share their art. "Students can come in, work on projects, collaborate with their peers, or just hang out," says Kai Jones, the club president.
Independent Study in Fine Arts

Gonzaga's art program offers students the opportunity to pursue independent study in fine arts. A student-driven experience, independent studies involve students working individually with a teacher/mentor to discern and develop a process for artistic growth geared to their personal vision.
