The department believes that at the undergraduate level students are best served by a liberal university education with a specialization in art. Specialized degree programs emphasize the traditional disciplines of painting, sculpture, design, art history, and art education. Students seeking vocational specializations should pursue relevant post-baccalaureate studies.
Freshmen art majors are encouraged to contact Academic Advising and request a faculty advisor in the Art Department. Courses recommended for freshmen vary according to the degree program.
Courses in drawing, painting, and sculpture in the 20's, 30's, and 50's series emphasize working from observation. Still life, landscapes, interior environments, and the human figure are the primary sources of study from which students work toward developing basic artistic/observational skills. Courses in design and the crafts in the 40's, 70's and 80 to 84 series focus on the inherent systemic logic or functional requirements of works of art. Only those students enrolled in a degree program with a full-time load of courses may use the space, equipment, and facilities of the Art Department. Part-time students may use only the facilities directly connected with the courses in which they are enrolled.
The faculty includes artists and historians of acknowledged accomplishment in their areas of specialization. All members of the faculty teach at the undergraduate level in well-equipped facilities on the north side of McIver Building and in the Cone Art Building.
The Weatherspoon Gallery, housed in the Cone Art Building, sponsors a program of exhibitions and lectures that complement the Art Department's curriculum.
The BFA program allows a more intense concentration in studio work than is available in a BA program. This concentration is gained by extending the program for the equivalent of one summer session. Because of the number of required courses, junior transfers cannot expect to complete a BFA program in two years.
In addition, candidates for BFA degrees must complete two writing-intensive courses; these may be selected from AULER courses, including ART 100 and 101, and/or from the four upper-level art history courses required of studio majors.
Core studio courses for major concentrations may be closed to students who are not enrolled in a degree program full-time.
4. ART 498 and 499 to be taken in the senior year. All students must submit three (3) ready-to-exhibit works to the senior juried show, usually held in the spring semester.
3. ART 498 and 499. Independent Study projects should be in graphic design, ceramics, photography, or another appropriate area of design specialization.
3. ART 498 and 499. Independent Study projects must be in painting, drawing, or printmaking.
2. Art 498 and 499. Independent Study projects must be in sculpture.
Electives sufficient to complete the 128 semester hours required for the degree.
All studio art students who seek teacher licensure in art must take a BFA under one of two concentrations: Art Education I offers academic breadth, Art Education II offers concentration in a studio discipline. Junior transfers cannot expect to complete these programs in two years.
In addition, candidates for BFA degrees must complete two writing-intensive courses; these may be selected from AULER courses and/or from upper-level art courses.
8. Concentration in one studio area (Design, Painting or Sculpture) of 9 semester hours above the 100-level.
During the junior year students must apply for admission to the student teaching semester. Art Education methods courses 363 and 365 are prerequisites to student teaching and are taken in the fall semester of the senior year. Student Teaching 463 and 465 are taken in the spring semester.
5. Evidence of teaching readiness competencies as set and evaluated by the department.
The Art History Concentration is an academic, liberal arts program with emphasis on the visual rather than the verbal tradition. Students who wish to pursue a professional career in this discipline should plan to enter a PhD program after graduation. In preparation for doctoral work, they should acquire a fluent reading knowledge of two foreign languages; German and French are usually recommended.
The Museum Studies Concentration offers specialized courses in curatorial projects and other museum functions. Students are encouraged to make use of the resources in the Weatherspoon Art Gallery.
The Studio Concentration combines a liberal arts education with the development of studio skills.
In addition to meeting the All-University Liberal Education Requirements (AULER), students in BA art programs must satisfy College of Arts and Sciences (CLER) requirements. Please note that students who satisfy the College Liberal Education Requirements (CLER) will also satisfy the All-University Liberal Education Requirements (AULER). See pp. 70-73 for a complete description of the College requirements and pp. 65-66 and 71-72 for a listing of courses meeting AULER/CLER requirements.
3. Art History above the 200 level: 12-24 semester hours.
An Art Minor requires 15-19 semester hours of studio and/or art history courses. A Minor in Art History requires 3 hours in ART 100 or 101 and 12 additional hours of 200-level or above art history courses. A Minor in Studio Art requires 3 hours in ART 100 or 101 and core studio courses ART 120, 140, 150, 220, 221.
