The department views the experience and practice of the visual arts, particularly at the undergraduate level, as an interdisciplinary pursuit. Within the art major, the five areas offered are art history, ceramics, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. The art student is involved in the artistic and scholarly environment of the Haggerty Art Village, with stimulation provided by independent study offerings, the presence of graduate students, and on-campus and Dallas/Fort Worth area exhibitions and collections, as well as visiting artists and lecturers. All of these construct the real environment needed for growth in the arts.The painting program offers students the opportunity to engage in contemporary practices and directions in painting through intensive studio Art Student Paintingexperience. Skills are developed in various painting techniques and materials and address the relationship between form and content. Experimentation with various forms is encouraged whether representational, abstract, dimensional or digital. Through practical and conceptual studio guidance toward their individualized creative visions, painting majors develop a focused body of work culminating in a solo senior exhibition.
