ART Department of Fine Arts Susan Phillips, M.F.A., Chair The objectives of the program are to expose the student to the creative process; to provide the student with practical experience in using the tools and techniques of the visual artist; to develop within the individual an awareness of self, his or her own culture, and the culture of others; to create opportunities for the student to progress according to his or her abilities; to provide opportunities for the mature student to experiment and work freely after mastering basic skills so that he or she will feel a degree of responsibility for self-initiated actions before leaving the protective environment of the classroom; to develop the student’s creativity and guide him or her in a search for meaningful content; and to prepare students for graduate studies. Note: In addition to completing the following required courses, students must fulfill the General Education Requirements listed on page 86. Major requirements and/or General Education Requirements may be changed by official action of the faculty. Under “Recommended Sequence” below, a number indicates the year during which it is recommended that the course be taken (i.e., 1-first year; 2-second year, etc.); a letter indicates that the course should be taken during a particular semester (i.e., F-Fall; S-Spring). This is a recommended sequence which will be individualized based on the course rotation schedule and in consultation with the faculty advisor. ART MAJOR Required Courses Department ART
