Art and Art History
In an increasingly visual world, the demand for the skills of artists, designers, and art historians is growing. Whether creating with paint, pencil, or charcoal on canvas or paper; with tactile materials such as clay, fibers, metal, or wood; with light on photographic paper; or with pixels on a computer screen - artists and designers play a key role in communicating ideas, information and aesthetics.
The Department of Art and Art History promotes the study of Art History through lectures, seminars, museum visits, study-abroad opportunities, and guest speakers. The program seeks to encourage critical thinking, close looking, and analytical writing through the study of art and culture.
Baylor's Department of Art and Art History is unique as it offers students a wide array of classes within a broad range of artistic areas and disciplines while challenging them to think creatively and critically: preparing them to enter the professional visual world or advanced study.
The following kinds of art courses are offered:
- Art appreciation for all students.
- History, theory, and studio work for students in liberal arts to pursue personal interests and aptitudes as a major or in elective courses (B.A. degree).
- Professional curriculum for artists (B.F.A. degree).
- Professional curriculum for teachers of art (School of Education degree).
Requirements for Art and Art History
The basic core of studio courses (ART 1310 Drawing I, ART 1311 Drawing II, ART 1314 2D Design, ART 1316 3D Design) are prerequisites for all 3000-4000 level studio courses. ART 1314 2D Design must precede ART 1316 3D Design.
Two capstone requirements are expected of all art majors:
- Exam Component
