Description The Department of Visual Arts offers a variety of programs for both the art major and the non-art major student. Programs leading to the Bachelor or Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees are offered for those seeking to become art teachers, commercial artists (in the areas of graphic design or illustration), photographers, or artists with an emphasis in one or more of the following areas: ceramics, drawing, jewelry, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and weaving. Associate of Applied Science degrees are offered in commercial photography and visual communications/design. The importance of education in the visual arts is gaining increased recognition. Many art majors find rewarding employment opportunities in the visual arts; others seek and realize the satisfaction of personal creativity enabling them to influence the visual environment of our technological society. Non-art majors satisfy their aesthetic curiosity and creative needs in both general education classes and the art studio classes. Education A rigorous foundation program during the freshman year prepares the art major for the more advanced courses within the art program. Departmental course offerings are enriched with visiting artists, workshops and special classes not offered in the regular curriculum. 84 85 The Department of Visual Arts is also committed to preparing students who wish to seek admission to graduate programs in the visual arts. Art students from Weber State College have had success in gaining acceptance to and completing graduate programs in universities throughout the United States. Studio Fees Studio fees are required of students enrolled in the following art classes: ceramics, jewelry design, oil/acrylic painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture and weaving. Because of changes in the costs of art materials, such fees will be subject to annual review and possible change.
