Art - Studio Art and Art History
In Studio Art, the relation of the artist-teacher to the students
precludes the possibility of the overly specific course descriptions,
other than general indications of media and level of advancement.
However, it is important to note that entry-level courses assume
no prior knowledge. First-year students are encouraged to enroll
in these classes. Lower division Studio Art courses focus on the
development of individual ideas in the context of class assignments.
Additionally, but no less important is acquiring an understanding
of the tools, materials and techniques for the successful manifestations
of those ideas. The artist-teacher presents material from her/his
experience, convictions, technical knowledge and aesthetic sensibilities
in the order and at the rate which, in her/his judgment will best
relate to the needs of the class and the individual student. Classroom
activities are placed in the context of an historical perspective.
Ample opportunity for dialogue among the students and artist-teacher
is encouraged. The advanced studio course offerings have prerequisites,
and as such, are oriented toward more complex problem-solving and
projects, both for the individual and for the group.
