                                SENATE DOCUMENT #2



                                 APC DOCUMENT #2 

                         Catalog Changes in Art and Music





        The Academic Policies Committee recommends to the Faculty Senate

        adoption of the following catalog changes for the Department of Art

        and Music:  





        PROPOSAL #1:  To add 6 hours to the 34 required of the present

        major.  This will mean a major will consist of 40 art hours--12

        introductory and 28 above the introductory level.  



        Rationale:  To provide a better general art foundation a broader

        base of experience is necessary as provided by the six additional

        hours we propose, see Proposal #2.  90% of our majors take over 40

        hours in art at the present.  





        PROPOSAL #2:  To require the major to take 6 additional hours to be

        selected as follows:  



        3 hrs from either 220 Printmaking I or 210 Painting I and

        3 hrs from either 230 Ceramics I or 240 Sculpture I.



        These courses will be added to the overall requirement.



        Rationale:  At the present time a student can graduate in art from

        UNCA without any color or color theory classes or exposure to

        printmaking.  In the last 10 years printmaking has become more and

        more significant in the art field, and it is important for an art

        major to be knowledgeable in that area.  Ceramics is a significant

        indigenous craft and yet our students can graduate without kiln

        knowledge or studio experience in crafts.  In our new space we have

        a printmaking facility as well as new ceramics and sculpture

        studios, and these programs need to be emphasized.  Students should

        be encouraged to take advantage in these areas.  The requirements

        we propose would help boost these programs and at the same time

        would provide a better experience for the student.  



        General:  



        Proposals 1 and 2 change the 1980-81 catalog statement (page 79) by

        adding 6 additional hours to the major and by requiring these 6

        hours to be taken as stated in proposal #2.  





        PROPOSAL #3:  



        DELETE:  105   Basic Design Laboratory (1)

                 106   Inanimate Drawing Laboratory (1)

                 107   Life Drawing Laboratory (1)

                 145   Basic 3-Dimensional Design & Sculpture 

                       Laboratory (1) (old catalog pages 78 & 80)




                                                                     Page 2

        





        Rationale:  These courses were added to the schedule to allow the

        regular courses (e.g. Basic Design 100) to have 4 hours semester

        credit, to be divided over two terms, two hours each term, for

        over-time pay.  Extra assignments were given to allow one extra

        hour credit.  Since we have adopted the semester system this method

        of hours per term, etc.  is no longer necessary.  These courses

        also make no sense according to our numbering system.  





        PROPOSAL #4:  Add:  410 Painting III (3) 



        Rationale:  At the present time there is no senior level painting

        class.  Students must take advanced painting as an individual

        course.  The addition of 410 Painting would prevent so many

        individual classes and allow a more uniform method of critique and

        evaluation.  





        PROPOSAL #5:  



        Change:   333  Ceramics II (3) to:

                  231  Ceramics II (3)



        Change:   430  Ceramics III (3) to:

                  330  Ceramics III (3)



        Add:      430  Ceramics IV (3)



        Rationale:  All of these changes are to improve the sequence of the

        ceramics courses.  For example, old 333 Ceramics II, according to

        the numbering system of the Art Department, should have 330, 331

        and 332 before it (it did not);  as changed it is the second course

        at the sophomore level and 330 Ceramics is the first class of the

        junior level in Ceramics and in proper sequence.  (Catalog pages 80

        & 81).  





        PROPOSAL #6:  Add:  220 Printmaking I (3) 



        Rationale:  There is no present course that allows a sophomore to

        take printmaking.  The addition of 220 Printmaking I will make that

        possible.  This is only the second catalog printing class, all

        others are S.A.T. 





        PROPOSAL #7:  



        Change:   241  Sculpture II (3) to:

                  240  Sculpture I (3)



        Change:   342  Sculpture III (3) to:

                  340  Sculpture II (3)



        Change:   361  Weaving II (3) to:


                                                                     Page 3

        





                  360  Weaving II (3)  (Catalog pages 80 & 81)



        Rationale:  These changes are all in an attempt to make our titles

        and numbering consistent.  





        PROPOSAL #8:  



        Add 490-492 SENIOR EXHIBITIONS (I-III) (3) 

           Preparation for Senior Exhibitions.  Allows a student up to 9

           hours credit.  Individual studio consultation and exhibition

           procedures are emphasized.  Prerequisite:  Advanced courses in

           area of expertise.  



        Effective Date:  Fall, 1981 



                        (Passed by Faculty Senate 10/16/80)
