The art curriculum is designed to foster creative ability and
the appreciation of art desirable in any fully enlightened human
being. There are many opportunities for the competent, creative
artist, including careers as a professional artist, teacher of
art, craftsman, and designer.
The study of art history brings together the various
disciplines of a fine liberal arts education. To truly
understand a work of art or architecture, the art historian must
comprehend the political, religious, social, and cultural
milieus in which the art was created. Students of art history
will learn to place art in its comprehensive historical context,
to assess art critically and analytically, to master art
historical research and presentation skills, and to develop an
appreciation for the vital role that art plays in all our lives.
The music curriculum is designed to enhance and expand the
student's musical ability. Theoretical and historical studies
are intended to be utilized by the student studying applied
music and participating in the various performing organizations.
The theatre curriculum is designed to provide an outlet for
students to express themselves using various aspects of the
human experience, thoughts, actions, dreams, and
disappointments. With opportunities to perform and participate
in different programs on and off campus, students can learn more
about the field of theatre arts. |
