The foundation courses are Basic Drawing, Color and Two Dimensional Design, Three Dimensional Design, and Art Appreciation. Additionally, students are required to take two art history courses, which together cover art from the Gothic period to the contemporary Postmodern art forms. Following the required art courses, you may elect courses in studio art and in art history which are of personal interest. Some art majors pursue a second minor as part of their degree. We stated earlier that experience is vital to securing an entry-level position.
Student organizations provide such experience.
All students are welcome to participate in the Student Art League, which is involved in a variety of art related activities. The Art Exhibitions Committee, another student-run organization, is a volunteer group which assists the director of the Kauffman Gallery with all gallery operations and needs. Our new computer graphics program is fitted with a laboratory containing the latest technology. New courses in computer graphics can enhance students employment potential. All of our faculty have received national recognition for their studio art.
