USF 1995-96 Undergraduate Catalog - Page 123 | Course Descriptions |
The art curriculum is designed to develop the student's consciousness of aesthetic and ideological aspects of art and its relationship to life and to assist students in the realization of personal ideas and imagery. Most B.A. recipients interested in college teaching, museum or gallery work, fine or commercial studio work pursue the extended discipline and experience offered at the graduate level.
Although the Art program allows many possible courses of study, most art major students will select one area of emphasis chosen from the course offerings listed.
The major concentrations, or areas of emphasis, available to undergraduate (B.A. seeking) art students are: Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics, Electronic Intermedia (Computer Images), Graphics (Lithography and/or Intaglio), Photography, Cinematography (Film), Art History and Theory. Art majors must receive a grade of "C" or better in all art courses.
Transfer studio credit will be accepted on the basis of portfolio and transcript evaluation.
