art major
Canvas-focused undergraduate
An art major is a college student whose primary field of study is visual arts—painting, sculpture, photography, or related disciplines.
The term often appears in jokes about impractical career choices or future unemployment: He's an art major, so he'll probably be a barista.
Despite the stereotype, art majors pursue careers in design, education, and creative industries.
