About the Department

The Department of Art offers courses in ceramics, digital arts, drawing, fibers, metalsmithing and jewelry, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.

In the undergraduate program, the department values the contribution of studio art to the broad inquiry of liberal arts students and to students committed to the art major. Through the making of art, the department aims to help each individual think critically, communicate clearly, and work creatively.

As actively practicing artists, faculty members offer students an introduction to the challenges, questions, and rewards of artistic practice. Undergraduates experience a broad range of conceptual approaches and practical skills through a diverse curriculum that encourages breadth and interdisciplinary investigation as well as depth and discipline within media. Through studio courses students develop ways of seeing, understanding of materials and tools, formal possibilities, technical skills, critical inquiry, articulation of meaning, and fluency with visual languages. They gain an understanding of the larger context of art through art history courses, workshops, and study abroad. The active visiting artist program offers students insight into contemporary approaches and professional practices.

Undergraduate Studies [back to top]

Three bachelor’s degrees are offered by the department. A four-year program leads to the bachelor of arts (B.A.) or bachelor of science (B.S.) degree with a major in art or digital arts. A fifth-year program leads to the bachelor of fine arts (B.F.A.) degree with a major in art, ceramics, digital arts, fibers, metalsmithing and jewelry, painting, photography, printmaking, or sculpture.

Advising and Program Planning. The department stresses the importance of interdisciplinary programs as well as concentrated study. Each student is encouraged to select a faculty adviser during the first year of study. It is critical to the development of a worthwhile program that the adviser be familiar with and sympathetic to the student’s direction and capabilities. The importance of program planning cannot be overemphasized.

Major in Art

Application to the Major. Students apply directly to the Department of Art for admission as majors to the B.A., B.S., and fifth-year B.F.A. degree programs. Write or call the department or visit the department’s website for an application form. Admission screening takes place each term for admission the next term (excluding summer session). The postmark deadline for applications is March 1 for fall term, October 1 for winter term, and January 2 for spring term.

B.A. and B.S. Requirements

Foundation courses provide majors and nonmajors with a solid base that informs and supports future art making. Through a broad range of approaches, Basic Design (ART 115, 116) and Drawing (ART 233) provide students with visual and intellectual experiences central to the practice of art.

Foundation Prerequisites. Students must complete Basic Design: Fundamentals (ART 115), Basic Design: 3-D (ART 116), and Drawing (ART 233) before enrolling in other studio courses at the 300 level. Students must pass foundation art studio courses with a grade of C– or better.

Transfer students who are working toward a B.A. or B.S. in art must complete 24 credits of studio work in residence; 12 of these credits must be upper division.

B.F.A. Requirements

Admission to the B.F.A. program with an art major typically occurs in the fourth year of study. Application includes a portfolio review. Candidates may select faculty sponsors from more than one area to supervise the terminal creative project.

Requirements

1. Completion of a five-year program totaling 220 credits, including satisfaction of general university requirements for the B.A. or B.S. degree

2. Satisfaction of departmental requirements for a program leading to the B.A. or B.S. degree and, in the fifth year, at least two full-time terms of work after being accepted to the B.F.A. program, three courses-at least one academic year-in art history, and 6 credits of Terminal Creative Project B.F.A. (ART, ARTC, ARTF, ARTM, ARTO, ARTP, ARTR, or ARTS 409) for a total of 108 credits over the five years. Students must enroll in the curricular-area B.F.A. course each term of their program

Students who have completed a comparable four-year degree in art at another institution may be admitted to the fifth-year B.F.A. program. Such B.F.A. candidates must satisfy the university’s 45-credit residence requirement.

Major in Digital Arts

Program Overview. The major in digital arts leads to a B.A., B.S., or B.F.A. degree. Digital arts encompasses the development of graphics, sound, interactivities, and applications such as web art, games, animation, video, performance, and installations. It is based in the history and practice of visual art and communication. Through hands-on labs, studios, and internships, students learn the concepts, theory, and authoring they need to develop original multimedia work.

Digital arts majors share with other art majors a foundation in basic design, drawing, and art history. This connection to the history and practice of visual communication is a strength of the program.

Application to the Major. Students should prepare themselves for study in the broad and inclusive field of digital arts by developing a wide range of interests and skills that might include fine arts, music, computer science, writing, literature, games, popular culture, theater, journalism, and media theory and criticism. Foundation courses—ARTD 250, 251, 252—provide opportunities to develop general skills and portfolio materials for application to the major.

The major in digital arts is an intensive, limited enrollment program. Acceptance is competitive and based on documented evidence of potential to excel in the field. Admission screening takes place once a year and requires review of a portfolio of visual materials submitted by each applicant. These portfolios should display promise and creativity, but need not demonstrate extensive experience. Applications that don’t include visual materials are not reviewed.

Students apply directly to the digital arts program for admission as majors. The postmark deadline for applications is February 1 for fall term admission. Write or call the Department of Art or visit the department’s website for the application form and instructions.

Computer ownership is strongly recommended for digital arts majors. System requirements are available in the department office.

B.A. and B.S. Requirements

Complete a four-year program and a minimum of 180 credits, including satisfaction of general university requirements for a B.A. or B.S. degree.

A maximum of 6 credits in Internship (ARTD 404) and a maximum of 12 credits in Special Problems (ARTD 406) may be counted toward the required 36 upper-division credits.

Transfer students who are working toward a B.A. or B.S. in digital arts must complete 24 credits of studio work in residence; 12 of these credits must be upper division.

Recommended Electives. The following courses are strongly recommended to satisfy science group requirements: Concepts of Computers and Computation (CIS 111), Physics of Sound and Music (PHYS 152), Physics of Light and Color (PHYS 153).

The minor requires 28 credits. Courses must be taken for letter grades and passed with a C- or better. No transfer work can be applied to the minor. The three core courses must be completed before registering for other courses required for the minor.

Graduate Studies [back to top]

Te department offers the master of fine arts degree with majors in ceramics, digital arts, fibers, metalsmithing and jewelry, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.

After reclassification to graduate master’s candidacy, students who want to work in more than one discipline may choose the M.F.A. with a major in art.

The graduate program seeks to prepare students for serious and engaged artistic practice. The objectives for students are not only to arrive at an accomplished body of work, but also to develop the practices and critical thinking skills necessary to sustain and grow the work beyond school.

The program focuses on individual studio practice, the cultivation of a visual language, material process, and conceptual approach relevant to each student’s intentions and sensibility. Students are challenged to devise strategies of experimentation and research and to cultivate an ability to articulate ideas and critical responses to work. As part of a larger community, students are expected to have a significant understanding of the historical frameworks and the contemporary discourse of art.

The M.F.A. is the terminal degree in studio arts. The program requires a minimum of 90 credits, 54 of which must be graduate-level art courses, earned during six consecutive terms as a full-time student. These 90 credits must include a minimum of 18 credits in Terminal Creative Project M.F.A. in a studio discipline (ART, ARTC, ARTD, ARTF, ARTM, ARTO, ARTP, ARTR, ARTS 609).

Six consecutive terms of full-time enrollment, not including summer session, is the minimum residence requirement. Under special circumstances an official University of Oregon leave of absence may be requested.

Core Requirements

1. Two terms of Graduate Critique (ART 612)

2. Two graduate-level art history seminars or formal courses

3. One theory seminar offered by the Department of Art or other university course that focuses on theoretical issues

4. One formal course chosen from any of the following: advanced methodology courses offered by the Department of Art or courses from numbers 1, 2, and 3 listed above

Other Requirements

1. Participation each term in the curricular area graduate review course

2. Participation in at least two graduate reviews—one prior to reclassification to graduate master’s candidacy and a second prior to the M.F.A. exhibition

3. Public exhibition of the terminal creative project and final review with the terminal project committee

4. Terminal creative project report

Graduate students in this department may take all work pass/no pass. Because the principal requirement is that of residence, which may not be waived, graduate transfer credits are not accepted.

Formal Procedures

Application and Admission. Application is made to a specific curricular area. It consists of the formal application, transcripts, résumé, statement of interest, portfolio, and letters of recommendation. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree and are expected to possess a high level of proficiency in their chosen media and a strong commitment to their work and artistic intentions. In the application materials, candidates should demonstrate an understanding of creative practice in the context of historical and conceptual frameworks.

Prospective graduate students are encouraged to have some knowledge of the department’s offerings. Call the art office to arrange a meeting with faculty members in specific curricular areas.

Conditional Status. Applicants accepted by the Graduate School are given conditional admission to study for the M.F.A. degree. Until or unless an entering student requests a specific graduate adviser, one faculty member designated by the department serves as the adviser to conditionally admitted students.

Conditional status of a candidate can be reviewed for reclassification to graduate master’s after at least two of the required core courses, one graduate review, at least 30 credits of course work toward the M.F.A. degree, and completion of course work to remedy any background deficiencies. A committee for reviewing candidacy is constituted by the adviser and consists of no fewer than three departmental faculty members. At least one member of the committee must be from another curricular area of the department. Faculty members from outside the department may serve on this committee, but only in a nonvoting capacity. The departmental committee reviews with the student his or her record of accomplishment and examples of past and current work, in order to offer advice and recommend advancement to candidacy with a change of student classification to graduate master’s.

Terminal Project and Adviser. After reclassification, the student selects a terminal project adviser from the faculty of his or her curricular area. With this adviser, the candidate selects a terminal project committee of three faculty members. A faculty member from outside the department may serve on the committee. The committee meets with the student for the project proposal, at least one progress report, and the terminal review.

Through these meetings, the committee oversees the development of the terminal project in the final year. The terminal project includes a public exhibition, a written report, and a final review by the committee.

The M.F.A. degree is officially granted after the candidate has fulfilled all requirements, including submission to the department of a project report in a form appropriate to the nature of the project and suitable for binding for use in the Architecture and Allied Arts Library.
