The faculty of art offers courses that introduce students to the visual arts, both as
observers and participants. Beginning courses are open to students with no previous
training. In addition, there are two programs for those who wish to concentrate in art.
One leads to the B.F.A. degree in drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, or
sculpture. The other leads to the B.A. degree in studio art with emphasis in drawing,
painting, photography, printmaking, or sculpture. Tutorial or contracted courses
cannot substitute for required art history courses.
With the approval of his or her advisor, an art major may elect a maximum of two
teaching experiences in the area of concentration. This is done in the sophomore,
junior, or senior year by enrolling in AR 298, AR 398, or AR 498. Students with a
studio concentration must demonstrate that they are competent to undertake college-
level work in the visual arts.
Upon completion of the art major, students will be able to
•
demonstrate knowledge and conceptual understanding of the visual arts
•
apply knowledge of the visual arts creatively
•
communicate visually
•
develop an analytical and interpretative approach to the visual arts
•
solve problems and make decisions relevant to the visual arts
