Major in Art
The major in art includes courses in art history and studio art
practice. Either area may be emphasized, depending upon interest
and career plans. Either emphasis can serve as a foundation for
further study at the graduate level in either art history or practice.
The study of art can lead to careers in a wide
variety of fields, such as teaching, publishing, arts administration,
museum or gallery work, commercial art and design, architecture,
city planning, painting, photography, or printmaking, etc. In many
of these areas, the major in art would profitably be combined with
a major in another area, such as English, history, philosophy, management,
communications, or mathematics. Students are advised to consult
with a member of the department on possible combinations suitable
for
different career plans.
There is no strict sequence in which art history
courses must be taken, although the introductory courses ART 141
and 142 are normally taken first. In studio art, eight semester
hours at the introductory level are required prior to work in painting
and printmaking.
