We write to inform you of our BFA in Art degree and our program requirements.
The BFA in Art is intended for students who have serious ambitions towards becoming practicing artists and/or photographers who may also aim to further their studies with an advanced degree. Students applying to the BFA in Art program must demonstrate a strong commitment to studio work outside of class time. The program provides intensive instruction in art history, drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, and sculpture as well as a broad liberal arts education. The BFA in Art offers 2 different concentrations: Art/Studio or Art/Photography. All accepted students are expected to complete their advanced BFA in Art degree requirements (300 level and higher) at the College of Staten Island. In the penultimate semester all students take ART 401/Contemporary Art: Ideas and Practices and in the final semester, ART 480/Senior Projects, in tandem with a studio/photo course in the student's concentration.
All students initially enroll in the BA in Art or the BA in Art/Photography.
ART 120 Introductory Drawing and 2 art history courses ART 200 Art to the Renaissance and ART 201 Art Since the Renaissance; and 2 of the following 3 courses: ART 130 Introductory Painting, ART 150 Introductory Sculpture, or PHO 101* Introductory Photography with 3.0 GPA. * Students interested in the Photography Concentration must take PHO101 as one of the two pre-major required courses. You are strongly advised to complete the 100 level courses and ART 200 and ART 201 within your first 60 credits.
2. Presentation and evaluation of your portfolio to a committee comprised of CSI art and photography faculty.
• Portfolio presentation for drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture should include 15-20 works.
• Presentation for photography applicants should include a complete photographic body of work.
All portfolios should contain a significant number of works created both independent of class and representative of studio work completed from your pre-major requirements.
3. For BFA consideration students must submit a complete application form with signed letter of intent and portfolio prior to Wednesday May 1, 2019. Portfolios must be delivered to room1P/203. No late submissions will be accepted. Notification of acceptance is sent to applicants before the end of the spring semester. https://www.csi.cuny.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/pca/art_application.pdf Applications and portfolios will be reviewed once per year.
