- The emphasis at Hampshire is on project-based learning with an increased focus on content. Students are given the necessary foundations in form, technique, and production skills, while being encouraged to examine the theoretical and critical contexts and the current practices and debates that will inform their artistic expression.
- In addition to course offerings, the film, photography, and video program offers a series of lectures and internships meant to expose students to a wide variety of visual artists and their work. Through their interactions with successful artists from around the world, students are inspired to pursue their own passions with the confidence that a life in the arts is a valuable and fulfilling one.
