The Art Department's Foundations program
contains the core information required for visual literacy development - a key element in a successful career in the arts.

Foundations courses are designed to prepare creative people for the path of their choosing in art, covering essential topics such as composition, color theory, idea development, rendering, and figure drawing are covered in-depth as the student prepares for their industry of choice.  At TAD, we believe that, with a proper foundation in art, a student can achieve success in any number of careers and educational opportunities.  Utilizing a full spectrum of traditional and digital media while learning the important basics necessary to create from life and imagination are the basis of foundations at TAD.
