Fine Arts and Interior Design
The Department began in the school year 1989-1990 as the Department of Art Appreciation and Interior Design. Despite its relatively short history, the Department continues to internalize and grow with the Benedictine Tradition of Prayer and Work (Ora et Labora). It has produced Scholastican graduate artists and designers serving industries locally and abroad. While others participate in the academe and made award winners in several prestigious competitions
Today, the Department of Fine Arts and Interior Design is a unified unit tasked to service curricula for the Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Science in Interior Design Programs. The Department also services other units requiring mentor competencies for Multimedia, Animation, Art in Early Childhood Education, Creative Arts Therapy and Art Appreciation Courses.
The Department is charged to recruit qualified mentors in arts and design depending on qualifications and competencies and may cross-over to other programs or courses. It facilitates student learner-centered strategies through Studio-based learning, the education of perception and skills development through performance-based mentoring and assessment. It maintains six studios for studio arts and interior design, a photography laboratory, clinic workshop areas, computer laboratories and an art space, The Amrhein Gallery, for exhibitions.
