The studio art concentration consists of at least 13 semester courses, including:
Arts of the Western Tradition, Arth 111/Arth 211, taught in the fall, and Arts of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, Arth 112, taught in the spring. It is highly recommended that these courses be taken in sequence (Arth 111 or Arth 211, followed by Arth 112).
Any student who has already taken our former survey course, Great Works I and Great Works II, may substitute these courses for Arth 111 and Arth 112; if you have taken only one of the Great Works courses, you may substitute this course for Arth 111 but not for Arth 112.
Three foundation courses in studio art:
Arts 111 Two-Dimensional Design
Arts 112 Three-Dimensional Design
and Arts 116 Drawing I
These foundation courses must be taken before the senior year.
One semester of Arts 402.
One additional semester course in Art and Art History.
And six additional semester courses in studio art from the following areas (with a possible emphasis in the student's major interest): drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, photography and graphic design. Studio concentrators are urged to take Arth 318. Arts 399 is normally reserved for fall semester seniors.
For permission to enter the studio concentration, students must submit a portfolio of their work to the department during their sophomore year. Faculty review portfolio submissions occurs once during the fall and once during the spring semester. All students who wish to be studio majors must be approved and accepted by the end of their sophomore year. Please see the studio coordinator, Andrew Howard, for more information.
