Studio Art MinorDivision of Humanities - Adm
Division of Humanities
The goal of the studio art curriculum is to introduce liberal arts students to the technical, conceptual, and communication skills necessary to activities in the visual arts and to help them understand the major traditions and the place of visual arts in our culture. Studio courses serve the needs of students planning to pursue graduate studies in art, students interested in exploring their own creative potential as part of the general education, and students preparing for secondary school teaching.
Program Student Learning Outcomes:
1. Students will be able to demonstrate proficiency in a variety of technical skills including understanding materials, processes, safe use of tools and environmental stewardship.
2. Students will be able to integrate formal, technical and conceptual intentions within two-dimensional and three-dimensional art practice.
3. Students will be able to critique and analyze their own artwork and the art of others.
4. Students will demonstrate in-depth knowledge of the major historical traditions and contemporary developments of art, including historical, social and cultural contexts.
