Humanities Art DEPARTMENT OF ART Richard Van Wagoner, Chairman Professors, Charles A. Groberg, James R. McBeth, Richard Van Wagoner; Associate Professors, Arthur R. Adelmann, Dale W. Bryner, Fred S. Rabe, Doyle M. Strong; Assistant Professors, David N. Cox, Samuel H. Moya. Lecturer: Susan Makov Denza. Description: The Art Department offers extensive and flexible programs that attempt to meet the variety of needs of the art major and the non-art major. Students will find Bachelor of Art and Bachelor of Science degree programs that accommodate the person seeking to become an art teacher, a commercial artist in the areas of graphic design and illustration, a photographer with an art background, or an artist with an emphasis in one or more of the following areas: drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, and weaving. The popularity of art is found by some to be the discovery of themselves and the world around them through art activities. They realize the personal joy and satisfaction of creativity and personal decision making found in art within a technological society. Non-art majors find rewarding experiences in art that suits their interests and creative needs, not only in general education, but also in the studio classes where personal and creative experiences are provided. Education: All art majors, excluding those with a photography emphasis, undergo a concentrated foundation program in drawing and design during the freshman year. Not only is it required that a minimum level of competency be reached, but it is desired that excellence in drawing and design be achieved. This foundation prepares the student for more advanced problems within the art program. Art programs are enriched with workshops and special classes not offered in the regular curriculum. One of the greatest commitments of the Art Department is to prepare students to obtain a graduate program in a school of their choice. The record shows that art students from Weber State College have had fine success in moving on to graduate school. Career Outlook: Many students have completed art degrees with the knowledge that their training will serve as a source of enrichment to life and not as a means of support. However, many students majoring in art are seeking a way of supporting themselves throughout life. Many talented and persistent people are finding excellent jobs as art teachers, potters, painters, sculptors, weavers, jewelry designers, printmakers, photographers, sign painters, graphic designers, illustrators, exhibition and display artists, etc. It should be stated that competition for art jobs in Utah is keen, and only those with aptitude and determination should attempt the "Art for a Living" program.
