The mission of the Art Department is two fold: 1) contribute
a necessary and integral component to the mission of the University by
providing opportunities for broad artistic and intellectual development of the
University body; and 2) specifically nurture and support the quality education
of those who have chosen fine arts as a professional goal, either as artists or
teachers.
The faculty is committed to excellence in teaching, research,
and service to the university and the community. The Department strives to
provide a learning environment that nurtures not only the artistic spirit but
also the professionalism of the prospective art teacher as well. The studio-oriented program leads to study at
the graduate level or employment. The Art Education program leads to teacher
licensure in grades K-12.
Students must complete a sophomore portfolio review designed
to demonstrate competencies in foundations; therefore, all foundation courses
should be completed by December of the sophomore year.
Before
graduating from either program, seniors are required to present acceptable
exhibitions of work from their areas of concentration and undergo a critique of
that exhibition by faculty.
