The School of Architecture program promotes architecture as a cultural practice of organizing information, of intelligently identifying and deploying patterns—conceptual, visual, structural, behavioral, and material—in the world. It prepares students to project all scales of these spatial and organizational patterns through the systematic development of an aesthetic attitude, a technical confidence, and a theoretical opportunism.[citation needed]
The School of Design programs, grounded in studio culture and deeply involved with the human experience, are organized to reflect and advance developments in the field. Led by a faculty of professional designers who are committed to teaching,[citation needed] students are introduced to contexts of culture and meaning as they develop the formal, conceptual, and technical skills necessary to confidently enter a professional setting.[citation needed]
The School of Art & Art History programs comprise artists, scholars, museum workers, educators, and researchers, all within the nation’s most diverse public research university.[citation needed] Affirming that humanity survives and advances through radical imagination and the arts, they educate students to rigorously engage in art’s vibrant[citation needed] corollaries: dialogue, critique, experimentation, and social justice.[citation needed]
The School of Theatre & Music programs provide innovative[citation needed], rigorous[citation needed], and comprehensive[citation needed] academic and performance programs as part of an urban context. They develop practical knowledge[citation needed], cultural sensitivity[citation needed], intellectual resourcefulness[citation needed], and imaginative daring[citation needed] in emerging artists and scholars, connecting students to Chicago's theatre culture and music networks.
In European academic traditions, fine art is developed primarily for aesthetics or beauty, distinguishing it from decorative art or applied art, which also has to serve some practical function, such as pottery or most metalwork. In the aesthetic theories developed in the Italian Renaissance, the highest art was that which allowed the full expression and display of the artist's imagination, unrestricted by any of the practical considerations involved in, say, making and decorating a teapot. It was also considered important that making the artwork did not involve dividing the work between different individuals with specialized skills, as might be necessary with a piece of furniture, for example. Even within the fine arts, there was a hierarchy of genres based on the amount of creative imagination required, with history painting placed higher than still life.

The arts are a very wide range of human practices of creative expression, storytelling and cultural participation. They encompass multiple diverse and plural modes of thinking, doing and being, in an extremely broad range of media. Both highly dynamic and a characteristically constant feature of human life, they have developed into innovative, stylized and sometimes intricate forms. This is often achieved through sustained and deliberate study, training and/or theorizing within a particular tradition, across generations and even between civilizations. The arts are a vehicle through which human beings cultivate distinct social, cultural and individual identities, while transmitting values, impressions, judgments, ideas, visions, spiritual meanings, patterns of life and experiences across time and space.
