Bachelor of Fine Arts - Visual Arts (OVE)

University of Ottawa programs take students on an exploration of the visual arts, with a special emphasis on contemporary creation. Both programs include compulsory practical and theoretical courses that encourage both creation and reflection. The Department provides photography and media art labs as well as painting, drawing and sculpture studios. In the heart of University of Ottawa, students also have access to a wealth of artistic venues such as the National Gallery and the Ottawa Art Gallery. In addition, students train under the guidance of nationally and internationally recognized artists, curators, art historians and theorists. While maintaining its focus on traditional disciplines (drawing, painting, sculpture and photography), the Department also helps students discover the use of new media and technologies in the visual arts.
