GENERAL INFORMATION
The Department of Art meets your needs by structuring its programs with a variety of options. The many degree offerings in addition to the individual attention of a small college help you find your own direction.

As an art program within a liberal arts setting, you have the opportunity to relate the visual arts to other fields of study. The development of a minor in combination with electives
from other programs, including unique interdisciplinary courses, enriches your focused
area of study.

Explore your world through painting, learn to manage a gallery, design web sites, or help children or seniors through education or therapy. You will develop a variety of skills you can use in an art practice as well as art careers, scholarly pursuits, or other art-related fields.

You will determine and focus your individual direction with the assistance of an outstanding faculty. Whether in the form of one-on-one advising, group critiques, portfolio reviews, internships, service learning, or student exhibitions, the faculty are eager to help you develop a realistic view of your strengths and potential to work as a practicing artist as
well as in a specific career area.

SPECIFIC INFORMATION
The Bachelor of Arts degree program with a major in art is designed for students seeking a broad view of traditional two- and three- dimensional studio media, skills, techniques and concepts. You can develop concentrations in a variety of areas including painting, drawing, ceramics, photography, graphic design and digital media.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program is designed for students who‚ after having experienced a range of media, wish to concentrate their efforts in individualized studies pursuing specialized concepts with defined media parameters. In this more sharply focused degree, you can develop a strong portfolio and greater independence. It is an excellent preparation for continued study beyond the bachelor’s degree.

The Bachelor of Arts degree program in Art Therapy is an interdisciplinary major combining art and psychology. This major prepares you for the field of art therapy and fulfills the prerequisite for graduate study. A master’s degree is required for accreditation by the American Art Therapy Association (A.A.T.A.) and professional registration as
an art therapist. Marygrove’s art therapy faculty members are registered art therapists (A.T.R.) through the A.A.T.A.

A minor in art provides you with a complementary body of knowledge and experience in visual issues that are considered essential for many other fields. Examples are careers in communications, fashion, education, business, human ecology, humanities and the other arts. A minor consists of 20 hours of studio classes.

The minor in art history, consisting of 20 hours, provides you with the opportunity to experience the scope of visual arts from a broad historical and cultural perspective, establishing ties to other forms of human expression. This minor compliments other fields including humanities, foreign language, history and the arts.

The minor in fine arts is a 24-hour group minor combining art, art history, music, theatre and dance. It provides you with the opportunity to experience the arts in a larger, collective sense‚ and works well with humanities, modern languages, history or a major in any of the arts.

The Post-degree Certificate Program in Computer Graphics offers a concentrated experience in computer graphics for the post-degree art major. While the emphasis is placed on computer-based graphic design and imaging, you can also elect a more experimental approach to the medium.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROGRAM
Expansive, well-equipped studios in two buildings, including individual studio spaces for advanced students, create many opportunities to interact with a distinguished faculty of professional artists and practitioners. Two exquisite gallery spaces are programmed with a variety of professional exhibitions in traditional and experimental media including performance. There is plenty of opportunity for students to share their works in exhibition and learn gallery management skills.

Visual Literacy
You will be exposed to a wide variety of art experiences through studio and gallery tours, extensive lectures and workshops by internationally recognized visiting artists and professional exhibitions in The Gallery.

Computer Literacy
As an art major, you must successfully complete two introductory computer graphics classes (ART 211 and 221).

Writing Skills
You will be required to successfully complete the across-the-curriculum writing-intensive course in art history (AH 370).

Teacher Certification
You must be admitted to the Teacher Education program through the Education Department if you are seeking K-12 certification.

As a student in the teacher certification program, you must meet the same standards as other art majors. And you must fulfill the requirements of the state in which you plan to teach.

Consult the Education Department to learn more about state requirements and an art advisor to plan your major.

Refer to the teacher certification section of this catalog for more information.

Art History Requirements
As an art major, you must successfully complete nine credits of art history, including at least one survey class. Candidates for teacher certification in art are required to complete twelve hours of art history. (See Teacher Certification in Art.)

Cooperative Education Program
The co-op program combines classroom and practical work experience. As a co-op student, you will gain valuable experience in a professional work environment. You will be paid and will also receive college credit.

Consortium
You may enrich your major by electing studio courses through the Consortium or
in summer sessions at other institutions. However, you are required to take the core sequence at Marygrove.

If you wish to take courses at other institutions, complete a guest student application and obtain written approval from the department prior to registering. This must be done in order that the credits you earn may be applied to your degree.

Academic Performance
Only courses with a grade of C or higher may be applied in fulfillment of the major requirements.
