Barton Art Department Our department's curriculum offers a balance between well-rounded liberal arts education and specific skills to begin careers or enter professions. All of Barton's graduating studio majors are required to take a senior capstone class, Art 403.
Students explore options for entry into the profession or to pursue advanced study.
Preparation of their exit portfolios may involve the refining of prior works and the production of additional or new works. The course also covers the skills necessary for professional presentation. All studio students must participate in the exit exhibition, which is the physical product of the capstone. The comprehensive exhibit of their best work is displayed for the College community. They also prepare portfolios that showcase their cumulative skills.
