About the course

Department of Art introduced a redesigned B.F.A. curriculum for students who see themselves as both artists and scholars. This curriculum will combine the intensive studio culture of the art department with enhanced access to electives in all areas of the university. By focusing on interdisciplinary relationships, the department aims to produce a community of artists who will participate in the world as artistic and intellectual leaders. The program allows the student to map a highly individualized curriculum with the goal of evolving a mature artistic practice at the earliest possible stage. The two academic components of B.F.A. program consist of the art-specific component taught within the department (64 credits) and the elective component drawn from the university at large (56 credits). The art component consists of seminars and core studio courses in: Digital media, Drawing, Painting, Photography, Print media, Sculpture, And a wide range of special topics. Within the departmental curriculum, the first three semesters provide six introductory, medium-specific studio classes (drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, print media, and digital media) along with an intensive art seminar.

　　Students are given experience with various techniques and processes within a topical study structure that encourages the development of conceptual, formal, and aesthetic concerns within both traditional and experimental forms. Current topics include contemporary issues in the mediation of spatiality, film and its genres to address narrative, appropriation, temporality, framing, scale, and other issues, historical legacy of material presence and research into the formulation and application of painting materials, pictorial languages and identifying appropriate scale of production and modes of delivery, ranging from a two-dimensional picture plane to site-specific installation.
