Fine Arts Professor Paasch; Associate Professors Walentine and Wojnar; Assistant Professors Cox, McDermid, McIntyre, and Schneider; Lecturers Christianson and Villareal Mission Statement The fine arts program at Jamestown College embraces art, music, and theatre as artistic disciplines that have traditionally been an integral part of the liberal arts. The program seeks to help students express themselves through widely varied artistic means. The program offers three majors: • Fine Arts-Studio • Fine Arts-Music • Fine Arts-Theatre Students majoring in fine arts are strongly encouraged to work in close cooperation with their respective departments to develop their artistic abilities through participation in the various public outlets available at the College, such as art shows, theatre productions, and musical ensembles. If further concentration in a particular area beyond that required for the fine arts major is desired, students are encouraged to explore the possibility of a concurrent minor in a particular area. The requirement for the fine arts major is forty-two semester credits, including twenty-six semester credits in an area of concentration and two approved courses in each of the other areas. The department chair of an area of concentration may recommend additional courses as electives from among its own offerings or from supporting fields in accordance with the student’s educational and career objectives.
