Art Major with an emphasis in
STUDIO ART

Students with an emphasis in Studio Art have the opportunity to develop depth at the upper level as they focus on at least one studio area selected from: drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, textiles, jewelry/metals, or ceramics. This is an excellent emphasis for those students who desire to become professional artists or work in related visual communication careers. It also prepares students for entry into graduate degree programs.
Before students begin to take upper-level courses in their area of focus, students must complete the design core, courses in art history, and a selection of both 2-D and 3-D introductory courses in other studio areas. For timely completion of the program, declare your major with the art advisor and begin coursework early.
The studio focus means students take at least 9 credits in one selected studio area at the upper level, 300 & 400 course numbers. This is in addition to Intermediate Drawing, which every Art Major is required to take and 6 credits in related upper level studio areas. All advanced 400 studio courses may be repeated up to three times.
Independent Studies in studio art are primarily reserved for those students who have already completed an advanced course three times; enrollment in an Independent Study is at the discretion of the area professor. (link to Independent Studies in UWGB course catalog)

Declare your Major in Art with the Art Advisor as soon as possible or before your sophomore year. Many of the lower-level art courses have a priority registration designation to reserve seats for the declared art major/minor.

Art is a disciplinary major so you will need an interdisciplinary minor. Art majors often select a minor emphasis in graphic communication (design Arts) or Arts Management, however you may want to check out other interdisciplinary minors at UWGB. NOTE: Arts & Visual Design (AVD) is the new name for Communication and the Arts (COA) as of Spring 2008.
