Division of Humanities
Studio art includes studies in the traditional areas of the visual arts, as well as in contemporary concerns and techniques. Students are introduced to the skills of critical analysis of works of art and to a variety of media and approaches to their use. In addition, the discipline supports co-curricular activities, including the UMM Student Art Club, student exhibitions, and guest speakers.
Program Student Learning Outcomes:
1. Students will gain the technical skills necessary for activities in the visual arts; this includes materials, techniques, the safe use of tools, environmental stewardship and collaboration.
2. Students will learn the concepts necessary for activities in the visual arts; this includes the formal elements of art, as well as learning to think independently, understanding the historical and contemporary development of art and their place in it, the relationship of art to self, culture, and society, and learning to question and examine everything with a critical eye.
3. Students will become well versed in the communication skills necessary for activities in the visual arts; this includes developing the ability to talk clearly and thoughtfully about their own art and the art of others.
4. Students will learn the major traditions of art and the place of visual arts in our culture.
