INTRODUCTION
The Department of Art is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design.
The Department of Art offers programs which include the scholarly fields of art history, theory, analysis and criticism; the studio fields of drawing and painting, entertainment art/ animation, printmaking, sculpture, crafts (including jewelry, wood and metal), ceramics (including glass), graphic design, creative photography, illustration, and exhibition design; and the single subject teaching field of art education.
Curricular plans for the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Fine Arts have been developed to meet the individual needs and interests of students in art.
The general objectives of the programs are to provide a comprehensive learning environment which contributes conceptually and technically to the development of the art historian, the visual artist and the art teacher. Specifically, the programs provide opportunities for students to: (1) develop a knowledge and understanding of fundamental visual experience and concepts basic to many forms and fields of art; (2) develop a critical appreciation of historical and contemporary art forms as they relate to individual and social needs and values; (3) creatively express one's personal experience and thought with visual skill and clarity; (4) develop knowledge and skills necessary to pursue graduate studies in visual arts, or to teach art and (5) develop the understanding and expertise applicable to professional practice.
BACHELOR OF ARTS IN ART
The 120-unit Bachelor of Arts degree offers concentrations in Art History, General Studio Art and Teaching. The program objectives are to provide correlative experiences, information and theory.
The Art History concentration emphasizes the area of art history, theory, and appreciation and is particularly recommended for those students who wish to pursue graduate studies in art history or museum studies.
The General Studio Art concentration is a varied curriculum that provides a broad education in the visual arts.
The Teaching Concentration prepares students to meet the requirements for admission to the Credential Program teaching art, grades K-12. Students are encouraged to work with the department adviser and/or the Center for Careers in Teaching (714-278-7130) as early as possible in their academic careers to plan efficient course selections for general education, major and electives.
Students in the Bachelor of Arts in Art program who enter Cal State Fullerton as first-time freshmen in Fall 2006, or who enter a community college in Fall 2006 with intent to transfer to Cal State Fullerton, will be required to show proficiency in a second language as a condition of graduation with a bachelor's degree (see "Graduation Requirements for a Bachelor's Degree" elsewhere in this catalog.)
In addition to the requirements listed below for the major, students must meet the other university requirements for a bachelor of arts degree. Students in the Teaching Concentration must also meet specific requirements for the desired teaching credential.
All art majors must take Art 300, Writing in the Visual Arts, and pass the university's Examination in Writing Proficiency (EWP) after achieving junior standing (60 units). Testing dates for the EWP are available from the Testing Center or the Academic Advisement Center.
To earn a Bachelor of Arts in Art students must achieve grades of "C" (2.0) or better in all art courses required for the degree.
