The BA degree in art consists of four parts: the general education courses outlined under the humanities curriculum; a core of beginning art courses to provide prerequisites and a broad range of art experience for the art major; and 15 hours of art electives and a 15-hour concentration of related subjects that should provide a minimal basis for establishing professional competence.
Concentration possibilities are in one of the following: painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, drawing, art history, metalsmithing and jewelry, graphic design, illustration, digital arts, and photography.
*Two-dimensional courses: Type and Design Principles, Oil Painting I, Photography in Art, Printmaking I, Watermedia I.
**Three-dimensional courses: Ceramics I, Metalsmith and Jewelry, Sculpture I.
The bachelor of fine arts degree is a professionally oriented undergraduate degree in art. It is designed primarily for those planning to become professional artists, artist-teachers, or art therapists. Greater emphasis is placed on actual practice in the creative art disciplines.
The degree is considered the appropriate preparation for the master of fine arts degree, which is recognized as the terminal degree in studio arts, and for a master's degree in art therapy, which is required for registration as an art therapist. The BFA in art is a four-year, 124-hour program with concentrations possible in painting, sculpture, ceramics, graphic design, printmaking, drawing, metalsmithing and jewelry, illustration, digital arts, pre-art therapy, and photography.
Formal evaluation prior to admission to a chosen area of concentration is required upon completion of Department of Art foundation core. A display of selected completed foundation core work will occur during the semester when the last of nine foundation courses (25 credit hours) will be completed. Visual course work must meet faculty approval, and a minimum 2.75 GPA in foundation courses is required. Upon passing the concentration admission procedure students may begin BFA study in the area of concentration they have selected.
An additional review opportunity is allowed after an unsuccessful attempt to pass the concentration admission procedure. The second attempt must be made at the end of the semester following an unsuccessful effort to pass the concentration admission procedure. The second attempt may, if so requested, occur in an area different from the first unsuccessful attempt.
Students not successful in a second attempt to pass the concentration admission procedure will be advised to consider the BA degree in art. For complete details on the concentration admission procedure, students may get a copy of the requirements from the Department of Art advisor.
Studios, laboratories, and equipment for creative work are provided and adequate to the needs of the art areas. Student work may be retained at the discretion of the faculty for an indefinite period of time for instructional and exhibition purposes.
Students may satisfy requirements to teach art in public schools by any of three programs: BA and teacher certification; BFA and teacher certification; or BS in education with art concentration. Under the first two options students qualify for teacher certification by completing requirements as specified by the College of Education. See the College of Education approved programs section for more information.
Students interested in a career as a licensed art therapist should contact their advisor in order to plan a sequence of elective courses.
Art hours transferred to K-State will be assigned by the art department. Students may use transfer hours toward their area of concentration only when obtained from a four-year college or university.
The Department of Art includes a number of concentrations that require the use of the computer. The department, in order to help prepare students for their professional activities requires that students within these concentrations provide or have access to a computer and software to enhance their course of study. The Department of Art will provide information related to hardware and software options.
