Studio Art, Concentration

All students concentrating in studio art must participate in a Senior Concentration capstone project during the final semester of their senior year. This capstone project may consist of participation in the senior concentration exhibit. Declaring the concentration and consultation with the art professor and the Concentration Director is required to determine the capstone project and Concentration coursework.

The Studio Art Concentration requires 18/20 credits including at least four advanced studio courses at the 3000 level and one advanced art history course. Two studio areas must be represented.

In addition to regular course requirements, the art concentration program culminates with participation in the group concentration exhibition or by mounting a one-person show. The exhibition displays the students’ progress and achievements in an area within the program such as ceramics, painting, printmaking, or sculpture. The exhibition is selected, developed, designed and constructed by the student through an Intermediate II level or above course with the guidance of that area’s professor. All of the requirements must be satisfactorily completed before students will be certified for graduation with a concentration in studio art.
