3.00 Credits
This major studio year-long class for 2D Fine Arts juniors gives students the opportunity to work with increased independence in a variety of 2D disciplines including drawing, painting, printmaking, and mixed 2D media. Individual choices of media execution, and subject are encouraged through a series of open-ended problems given over both the fall and spring semesters. The problems are designed to invite a wide variety of responses from each student. The philosophy and structure of the 2D Junior Studio places a high priority on the establishment of an active and reflective relationship between an individual and her work. Individual studio space is provided in order to reinforce independent thinking and to help students establish a rapport with the studio life of a fine artist. Satisfies: Major Requirement

3.00 Credits
Based on a proposal in which a student is working independently with the assistance of two faculty sponsors, the proposal is concerned with matters that can best be pursued individually rather than in a class. It may not duplicate course content of the regular classroom curriculum. Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible and a cumulative gpa of 3.0 is required. See student handbook for further details. Satisfies: Studio Elective

3.00 Credits
2D Senior Studio is seen as the gateway to 2D Senior Thesis, a focused body of work that the student presents to the department in her final semester. In recognition of this transition from student to artist, the 2D Senior Studio class works with a number of Visiting Artists over the semester to augment student exposure to a wide range of aesthetic directions and concepts. Students choose to work in any variety of 2D and mixed media processes. It is the responsibility of the student to define her interests and choose a means of investigating her content and means of expression. Contemporary and historical contexts of the 2D disciplines are discussed as an ongoing feature of this class. Individual studio space allows for further independence and reinforces the expectations of self direction in this course. Satisfies: Major Requirement

3.00 Credits
The student's four years of study culminate in this in depth body of work that reflects mature and independent decisions on content and expression. Students work in their individual studio spaces with an Advisor of their choice. The Thesis is composed of the studio work, which is presented to the Department at the end of semester critique, as well as the written thesis document, which defines the goals and artistic philosophy of the student. The research for this paper and the direction of the thesis studio work begins in Fine Arts Seminar and 2D Senior Studio. Satisfies: Major Requirement

6.00 Credits
Sculptural studies, a two-course year-long sequence, 6 credit hours, is required of all Fine Arts majors. Sculptural studies is the 3D component of the sophomore fine arts core and serves as an introduction to the materials and process of the 3D fine Arts department. This includes Sculpture, Metals, Jewelry and Ceramics. Sculptural studies may also serve as a studio elective for students outside the major. Sculptural Studies builds on the formal language and fine art skills introduce in 3D basic design. The relationship of form and idea are explored in the personal context, both through traditional and experimental processes. Additive(modeling), mold making, casting, construction (metal and wood) and installation/performance are all covered. Of equal importance to the skills learned is the development of the students creative ability to creative ability to explore, problem solve and communicate contemporary sculptural ideas. Group critiques contribute to the learning environment by encouraging a free exchange of ideas. Critical theory is introduced through guided written research and presentations on contemporary sculptors. Satisfies: Major Requirement

3.00 Credits
Digital technology is increasingly prevalent in today's society. This progressive course introduces computer aided design (CAD), computer aided manufacturing (CAM) and rapid prototyping (RP) technologies. Students can explore computer aided methods and utilize them to create solid models, from one of a kind pieces to multiples. Digital techniques can be applied to 3D fine arts, fashion design, illustration, interior design, textiles, and jewelry/metals. Satisfies: Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
The primary objective of this course is to create solid models using Rhinoceros 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software and to learn to prepare data for rapid prototyping (RP) technologies. Innovative forms, new materials, and processes unique to RP will be used to evolve objects outside of the virtual world-onto our bodies and into the studio. This course will help students to explore the relationship between art and science. Students will produce tangible objects and will gain an appreciation for the virtual form. The advanced digital techniques acquired through this course can be applied to 3D fine arts, fashion design, illustration, interior design, textiles, and jewelry/metals.

3.00 Credits
Work on assignments is developed around a specific theme and seeks to explore the relationship of form, material, process, subject matter and content. Projects evolve through a process of historical research, drawing, model making and experimentation. For this students are encouraged to work in a variety of media and to make full use of the workshop facilities within the department. This work will be the subject of group critiques and presentations on a regular basis during the semester. An opportunity to work on large scale installation and site specific works designed around functional, environmental formal and social issues relevant to the contemporary world.
