Art B.A. - Fine Art Studio Concentration
Those who wish to focus their creative energies on studio work, performance and installation would declare this concentration. Following completion of Area F, investigations of various media in upper division coursework and extensive work in the Cognate Area, the FASC Art student will complete their major requirements with a Capstone. Seniors will begin their final year with research, development and some production of a new, cohesive body of work. Multiple faculty reviews and ongoing mentorship will support this research. Their final semester Capstone will include high production, media relations, installation, exhibition, reception, and deinstallation of this thesis work under the guidance of their faculty committee.
