The art major offers several directions for the student who has an interest and talent in the visual arts. Individualized advising helps the student choose a major with one of the following two emphases:
- Fine arts which prepares students for careers in gallery/museum or arts administration, or for graduate work in studio art, commercial art, art therapy, or art history.
- Art education which prepares students for K-12 teaching certification.
All majors are encouraged to attend art exhibition openings and/or workshops and field trips sponsored or approved by the art faculty. A Sophomore Review is required of all students who declare an Art Major by their Sophomore year. Transfer students and students who declare the major later are encouraged to participate in the Sophomore Reveiw as Juniors. Art Majors are also required to complete a senior show and career portfolio to be approved by the art faculty.
Learning Outcomes for Art
Upon graduation, the art student will be able to demonstrate:
- Mastery of skills in his/her chosen area of emphasis.
- Familiarity with the history of art and the ability to discuss it within the context of their work.
- Ability to write articulately about art.
- Ability to present self and work professionally.
- Ability to develop a cohesive body of work.
Fine Arts students interested in gallery/museum, art therapy, arts administration or commercial art should plan to take an internship in the field. Those interested in graduate work in studio art or art history should work to fit in extra studio or art history courses, respectively, as time allows. Students planning to go on for Art Therapy should consider adding a Psychology Minor. Double majoring or minoring in Business or Graphic Communication may also be of interest to Fine Art students.
