ArtProgram description The art major emphasizes studio preparation for the production
of art. Students majoring in art will find that the program helps
develop a personal, critical attitude toward their life situations
through creative involvement. Course work provides technical training,
historical background, and professional competence while not destroying
the dignity of individual opinion and direction. These studies
are designed to generate interest and promote understanding of
art, which comes in part through analysis of creative works of
past and present. The Senior Seminars provide an opportunity for
the student to develop a final project in his or her area of specialization.
Requirements Required course work includes Art Methods and Materials, Design
(two courses), History of Art: Prehistoric through Gothic, History
of Art: Renaissance through Modern, Art Appreciation, two senior
seminars, and a minimum of 14 semester hours in studio courses,
five hours of which must be upper level. Art majors are also required to participate in annual student exhibitions and other exhibits, programs, and lectures. |
