The Art Department is committed to quality visual arts education consistent with high professional standards. To achieve its mission, the Art Department seeks to provide:
The department has three major components leading to the baccalaureate degree. The first, Art Education (curriculum also located in Secondary Education), provides a foundation of art skills, methodology, and advanced work through teaching internships necessary for teacher licensure. The second, the Fine Arts area, concentrates on drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture and other special art interests. Third, the Graphic Design program enables a student to develop the skills and techniques required to engage in the various fields of advertising art. All three curricula lead to the bachelor of arts degree. The department also offers a service course required in the area of general education. In addition, the department offers an art minor which provides an opportunity to investigate a range of content and studio experiences.
All majors will enroll in a foundations core made up of ART 1303, Introduction to Drawing; ART 1403, Two-Dimensional Design; ART 2403, Color Design; ART 2413, Three-Dimensional Design; ART 2103, Art History I; and ART 2303, Figure Drawing. Graphic Design and Art Education students are expected to include ART 1503, Introduction to Graphic design in their foundations core. These courses may be taken independently of one another, and more than one may be taken in a semester. All art majors are required to enroll in twelve hours of art history. All majors participate in an assessment process beginning with the Sophomore Review after students complete 12 hours of core courses to include ART 1303, ART 1403, ART 2403, ART 2413. It is prerequisite to advanced course work in all program areas. The Junior Review is to be completed one year before enrolling in the Senior Project Course (Spring Semester) for Fine Arts and in Graphic Design Exhibition (spring semester) for Graphic Design.
