Ceramics
At Adelphi you can experience a full range of possibilities in clay, from traditional pottery to ceramic sculpture. The ceramics facility is spacious, including a 2,500 sq. ft. studio equipped with six indoor and three outdoor kilns, 12 wheels, and a 2,000 sq. ft. outdoor workspace. Elective courses in ceramics are available at every level, from the freshman to the senior year.
Painting
Painting students progress from basic observational studies in Painting I, to more self-directed work at the higher levels. Over several semesters, you are encouraged to experiment with a variety of painting media and techniques. No particular style is promoted, instead, we help you discover a subject and approach that reflects your individual temperament and visual inclinations.
Photography
Photography classes are popular at Adelphi among majors and non-majors. Our photo labs are located on the third and fourth floors of Blodgett Hall and include a darkroom with 15 enlargers, a studio for still-life and portrait photography, a work studio with sinks and drying racks, and a critique/discussion area. We also have an 18-station computer lab for digital photo classes. Art students are eligible for elective courses in photography throughout their four years of study.
Printmaking
Introductory printmaking courses expose you to a broad range of printing techniques, while more advanced study emphasizes the development of your personal vision and style.
Our new, well-equipped printmaking studio affords you the opportunity to explore traditional intaglio processes (etching, aquatint, and drypoint), relief printing techniques (woodcut, linocut, and mezzotint), silk-screen, solar etching, and printing methods that employ photography and digital imagery.
Sculpture
Contemporary sculpture is more varied than any other area of the visual arts. At Adelphi, you have the opportunity to make objects using diverse materials and techniques including welding, casting, modeling, construction, and the use of molds to create multiples. As you progress you’ll focus increasingly on the processes and materials that best match your creative ambitions.
