The Department of Art and Art History offers
programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts and the
Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees, with courses in
art education, art history, drawing, painting,
photography, printmaking, and sculpture. The B.A. degree is designed for
students who wish to combine a liberal education
with specific studies in art. The B.F.A. degree is
designed for students who want to pursue a more
intense professional studio program. The department
also offers a minor in art history and B.F.A. degrees
that allow students to receive a certificate in graphic
design or interior design after completing a series of courses at Sinclair
Community College.
Because self-expression and self-learning
are the ultimate goals of the program, students
are largely responsible for determining the options
that best meet their individual needs and interests.
Candidates for a degree in art may prepare
for graduate study, careers in teaching, or the
professional practice of art.
In the studio area, studies begin with
introductory courses in drawing, sculpture, and
photography. These courses are designed for the
beginning artist and guide the student's development
in the visual arts. The program helps students expand
and express their knowledge and grow in self-expression
by exploring the processes and language
that are basic to all visual arts. Rather than follow a
system of independent courses in a given medium or
discipline, students investigate issues and ideas in a
variety of visual modes.
First-year students are required to submit
examples of their work only if they are seeking
advanced placement; otherwise, all first-year
students in art are admitted to the general
curriculum. All candidates for the
B.F.A. degree must be represented in the senior
exhibition.
Students who wish to teach art in Ohio
public schools can pursue the B.F.A. degree in art
education. Upon completion of this undergraduate
degree program in the College of Liberal Arts,
students must complete the Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree
through Wright State's College of Education and
Human Services. Graduates of the B.F.A. in art and
the M.Ed. Program are eligible
to seek licensure from the Ohio Department of
Education in Visual Arts Pre-K-12. Requirements
for admission to the M.Ed. program include a
minimum GPA, C or better grades in all undergraduate content courses, admission testing, and interviews.
Throughout their undergraduate work, students
should consult regularly with an advisor in the
College of Education and Human Services to ensure
that they are meeting the requirements of the M.Ed.
program.
