Jacobs Location: Collett Art Building, Room 104 (moving to KVAC, Room 102 on May 5th) Telephone Contact: Lisa Milliken 801-626-6455 Professors: Mark Biddle, Drex M. Brooks, David N. Cox, James C. Jacobs, Susan Makov, Angelika Pagel; Associate Professors: Naseem Banerji, Suzanne L. Kanatsiz; Assistant Professors: Scott Betz, Kathleen Stevenson; Instructor: Susan Barratt We listen to the world in which we live, smell the world, taste and feel the world as well. But perhaps most of all, we see the world. From the moment we wake we are bombarded with visual information. As much as the written word this information comes to us through that which we perceive in our mind's eye. Through photographs, paintings, television, films and videos, billboards and signs, architecture, and the furniture we sit on, these objects bear discreet but distinct messages. We are in the continual process of making decisions based on both the objects and images we see. Now, with the increasing proliferation of imagery via computer, the ability to comprehend and create visual work is more important than ever. Those who study and create visual art learn imaginative and innovative problem solving, analytic and synthetic forms of reasoning, and the exercise of judgment. Effective visual communication methods learned in art disciplines, sharpen critical faculties by obliging students to think creatively and independently and to make reasoned decisions based on their own knowledge and trained observations. Studying and making art not only provides insight into the extensive amount of visual information that is conveyed visually in our society, it fosters an understanding of other cultures, past and present. To live and work in an increasingly multicultural society, people need an appreciation of the customs, culture and values of other peoples. These are primary concerns in the study of art. To address the diverse needs of students, Weber State University offers three degrees in the visual arts and offers seventy different courses. The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees provide a broad liberal arts background, a valuable base for many careers or further study. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is a selective program that offers a high concentration of studio art and art history. It is designed for students who wish to pursue professional work or admission to a masters program in the visual arts. Visual Arts courses cover areas such as: art teaching, ceramics, digital media, drawing, metals/jewelry, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, visual communications (design or illustration), weaving. Departmental course offerings are enhanced by public lectures, seminars, workshops and special classes by critics, historians, and visiting artists. Learning how to research, developing problem- solving skills, making art, critiquing and evaluating art by developing dialogue and writing skills, and selecting and preparing work for exhibition are all part of the educational program in the Department of Visual Arts. Solo and/or group exhibitions are encouraged for seniors and required for all Bachelor of Fine Arts majors. The Gallery of the Department of Visual Arts is a space set aside for the exhibition of works of art which exemplify those ideas and values that are taught as part of the Department of Visual Arts curriculum. The Gallery program serves not only students but the public as well. Ongoing exhibitions of the work of local, regional, and nationally and internationally recognized artists serve a vital role in the cultural life of the community. The Gallery organizes at least six exhibitions each year. All are free and open to the public.
