Studio Courses

Studio courses are art production lab courses that develop technical skills for making artworks and conceptual skills for creating. Foundation courses (100 level) emphasize fundamental skills to begin developing creative thinking. Second-year courses (200 level) emphasize technical mastery, conceptual skills and self-direction.

Studio classes typically meet six hours each week in specialized labs/classrooms. Students spend most of the time producing works, although lectures, discussions and critiques are also included. Students are evaluated by portfolio review, class participation and through exams. Some art supplies are provided through student lab fees, but students will purchase most supplies. Textbooks may be required in some courses.

Prerequisites or consent of the instructor are required for most 200-level courses. All studio courses are three credit hours. All 200-level courses (except ART 240) may be repeated for up to six hours credit.
