Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
Effective Date: Fall 2005
1.
Delete: On pg. 60, under Minor in Studio Art, sections I and
II:
Add: On pg. 60, in place of deleted entry:
I. Minor in two-dimensional media--24 hours,
including: ART 100, 101; ARTH 201 and 202; 12 elective studio hours, 6 of which
should be sequential (e.g., ART 215 and 216; 102 and 201; 227 and 327). These
12 hours should be 200-, 300- or 400-level courses. (ART 102 may count toward
the 12 elective hours.)
II. Minor in three-dimensional media--24 hours,
including: ART 100, 103; ARTH 201 and 202; 12 elective studio hours, 6 of which
should be sequential (e.g., ART 230 and 231; 240 and 340).
2. Delete: On pg. 60,
under Minor in Art History, section I:
Add: On pg. 60, in place of deleted entry:
I. The Art History minor consists of 24 credit
hours in required courses: ART 100; 101 or 103; ARTH 201 and 202; 12 additional
hours in Art History offerings.
Impact:
As
in the case with art majors, the Introduction to Art History sequence provides
fundamental knowledge about art’s history and social context, which complements
the studio curriculum. This sequence provides
Art History minors the general knowledge of the discipline’s practice and range
of content on which to build further study.
Requiring all Art and Art History minors to complete ARTH 201 and 202
will also add to the demand for these classes and possibly strain current
resources.
Rationale:
The
rationale for the proposed changes in requirements for the studio minor is the
same as detailed above for majors. The
addition of the concentration in Art History necessitates this proposed change
in the requirements for the Art History Minor.
