College of Creative Arts

Have a listen!

We hope that your time spent at West Virginia University will be both productive and challenging. Let me begin by offering you some information about our Division and Morgantown. The Division of Art and Design has outstanding studio space for ceramics, graphic design, intermedia, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. The studio programs encourage traditional approach-es as well as intermedia crossovers includ-ing photo-based techniques, electronic art, installation and the book arts. Art educa-tion and teaching certification is of-fered in addition to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) curriculum. Art history offers a growing diversity of courses along with close interaction with the studio programs. Upper-level studio classes have a great faculty-to-student ratio. We are dedicat-ed to making sure you have the tools and information you need for success. Travel is an important part of our students’ experience here. Our faculty and stu-dents regularly visit exhibitions at some of the nation’s top museums and gal-leries in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Wash-ington, DC, and New York City. Recently, students have traveled to conferences in major cities all over the country, including Phoenix, Chicago, NYC, Pittsburgh, Rich-mond, and Kansas City. There are also international travel experiences available through our

study abroad opportunities in China and Italy. All of our programs are enriched by the Mesaros Galleries. These galleries host numerous national and international exhibitions by distinguished visiting artists. BFA students also exhibit their work in these galleries during their last year. It is the pinnacle of the BFA experience and is always a memorable exhibition. A new museum is currently being de-signed to be located right next door to the Creative Arts Center, which will expand our students’ direct engage-ment with art. Morgantown is known for its pedestrian and recreational trails system. These walkways provide miles of paved and crushed limestone trails. While attending WVU you can explore West Virginia’s excellent white water rafting, hiking, rock climbing, and skiing. Morgantown offers a rich cultural experience in a small town setting. Downtown has a mixture of local shopping, restaurants, entertainment, arts centers, and apart-ments. Many buildings have been in place since the early Twentieth Cen-tury. Music and artwork are always happening in many of the cafes and

The Division of Art and Design is the only accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design in the state of West Virginia. We are committed to providing the opportunity and the environment for the best possible education in the visual arts. The in-depth in-struction is enhanced by the close working relationship between students and faculty.

Students in the BFA curriculum participate in a wide range of studio class work, includ-ing drawing, intermedia and photography, painting, printmaking, ceramics, graphic design, and sculpture, as well as art history classes. A BFA is conferred upon those stu-dents who satisfy all university and division requirements, complete the appropriate curriculum, and comply with the general regulations of the University concerning degrees. The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), a professional degree, is awarded to those persons who have satisfactorily completed the required 129-131 semester credit hours of study and made the expected commit-ment to the vocation of art or design.

Certification may be earned with any area of studio emphasis in the BFA program. Through careful counseling, individual goals are established in keeping with the student’s aims and talents. A minor in Art History can also be earned along with the BFA or BFA+ Certification degree with an additional two courses or six hours.

Nature of Programs

Bachelor of Fine ArtsThe BA in Art History provides students with a foundation in the history of art and architecture in its cultural and theoretical context. The BA candidate must complete 129-131 credit hours and the curriculum requirements in order to graduate. The BA curriculum includes required and elective Art History courses, studio art courses, recommended cognate courses and University-established general educa-tion curriculum requirements. In order to broaden their experiences, students are encouraged to study abroad during a sum-mer semester of the junior year. Students are required to complete a senior research project on a topic selected by the student with the approval of the Art History faculty.

for youDEGREES

Students who pursue degrees in other disciplines may find that the study of art history enhances comprehension of their primary field of study and permits them to achieve a broader and deeper understand-ing of cultural history. Several art history and architecture courses have also been approved and can be used for the minor. The Art History minor requires a consider-able grasp of writing and research. The vocabulary and technical aspects of art his-torical writing and research are addressed in both the survey and in the upper-level courses.

Arts Administration is one of the fastest growing fields in the arts industry. The minor combines selected courses in the arts, arts administration, and business, to provide students with the basic knowledge and skills they will need for entry-level work with performing and visual arts organizations such as galleries, orchestras, theaters, museums, and dance companies. The minor is recommended for students who wish to gain a better understanding of the business aspects of the arts. It may be completed as an individual course of study or in conjunction with one of the other recognized majors in the College of Creative Arts.

Minor in Art History

Minor in Arts Administration

The visual arts minor offers students a chance to study the visual arts through a broad-based studio arts curricular experi-ence. The minor must be completed in context with another recognized major at West Virginia University. Based on the Division’s belief that the development of an individual’s creative abilities are inte-gral to having a rewarding life and career, students pursuing the minor enroll in a wide-range of courses that allow them to explore the making of art through a variety of approaches and techniques.

DEGREES

Not all art courses are available to the minor. If you get the art bug and want the BFA Art program, see Kristina Olson.

OPPORTUNITIES

Scholarships are merit based and awarded through an annual competitive review process. The Division of Art and Design offers a wide range of scholarship options from $500 cash scholarships to full tuition waivers. Scholarships may be awarded in addition to any other scholarships a student may be receiv-ing. Scholarship reviews are conducted in the spring semester, usually in March.

Our international programs are a fundamental part of our academic programs. Over the years we have created international programs of the highest caliber, where groups of students, led by WVU faculty, study with master artists and teachers of the host country. There are a variety of programs offered for varying lengths of time. Opportunities include semester-long programs and six-week summer programs.

Students regularly travel to experience the best of what the art world has to offer. Many classes travel to world-class museums in Pittsburgh, Washington DC, New York, and Cleveland. There are also opportunities to attend profes-sional conferences located in cities across the country. Recently students have attended conferences as far away as Phoenix and as close as Shepherdstown, West Virginia.

FOR OUR

STUDENTS

Scholarships

Study Abroad

Travel

Undergraduate students have many opportuni-ties to exhibit their work in and around Mor-gantown. This area offers galleries, cafes, and music venues that all support and exhibit local artists. Many of our students organize their own exhibitions. Our students have also successfully shown on a national level, showing in galleries and art centers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Virginia, Texas, and elsewhere. BFA seniors exhibit in the Mesaros Galleries each spring.

If it’s always been a dream to go abroad, ask about financial aid.

The Division of Art and Design Visiting Artist Lecture Series brings artists, scholars, and other professionals from all over the world in to interact with students. Participating artists are involved with all media and incorporate a broad subject matter.

The Mesaros Galleries (located in the lobby of the CAC) has a primary mission to serve the educational needs of our art majors. The focus is on bringing in contemporary artists of important or growing reputation. Many of our visiting artists will also have an exhibition in our galleries, broadening the visiting artist experience.

The College of Creative Arts is developing a new Art Museum that will be located on the Evansdale campus, adjacent to the Creative Arts Center. The Art Museum will offer students exciting opportunities to encounter and interact with works of art in a beautiful setting. The museum will draw from its own collection of art to organize exhibitions, and will bring traveling exhibitions to Morgan-town. Artist demonstrations, workshops, and discussions that engage audiences in active learning are planned in conjunction with exhibits. Dr. Joyce Ice, a museum professional with over twenty years experience in the field, is director.Through fine arts internships, workshops,

Expect to learn a lot through visiting artist and their words of wisdom.

VISITING ARTISTS AND EXHIBITIONS INTERNSHIPS/PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCEand conferences, art students get the opportunity to have a hands on experi-ence in a professional arts organization. For example, art and design students have participated in workshops and internships at the Mattress Factory and Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh; Mediaworks LLC, the Smithsonian Institution and National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC; and Pace Editions in New York City.

Art Education offers a strong developmen-tal structure for students. Students spend at least 125 hours in public schools before they student teach.

Our student arts organizations also offer opportunities for students to have more professional experiences. These organiza-tions meet to discuss student professional development, raise funds for and organize travel, and offer critical support.

Don’t miss ANY of these.They are a heck of a lot more important than you realize—one of the great benefits to being at a university is the chance to meet great thinkers in your field.

so, what computer and

will I need?

HARDWAREYou will find that the art industry uses Macs primarily. Our software works better on them and they are more user friendly. We also use them in all of the classrooms in the CAC.We recommend you have your own, although we do have labs in the CAC which you can have access to when you are enrolled in classes that use the labs.

You can buy a tower or a laptop. The laptops can be used in our labs wirelessly. Any of the laptops are good enough. You should decide what screen size you can afford and what you want to carry around. You should make sure it has a wireless card and if you know you will be doing video, get enough RAM to let you work fast.

We also recommend you buy an external hard drive that you use to back up all of your work. Any computer can go down and every semester, some students learn this the hard way.

Look for sales on thumb drives and put your name on the one(s) you buy. These are necessary for transporting files from one computer to the next or when printing at one of the labs outside of the CAC. You will inevitably forget to take it out of one of those and you will need it returned to you.

Buy a digital camera that you can keep with you all of the time. It is a good research tool and diary for artists. Build your visual databank and train your observation skills. If you be-come interested in photography you may want a better cam-era with good lenses, like a Nikon. We have some that can be checked out for assignments in photo and design classes.

SOFTWAREGet the Adobe Creative Suite you can afford. We use the Pre-mium CS4 in the design and intermedia labs. As a freshman, you will use Illustrator, Word, and Photoshop primarily. Shop at an educational discount venue.

When downloading free soft-ware, check it out first. Download.com offers reviews by users to help you see what is legit. Some are just viruses.

Look for deals, such as this one on the Apple educational site.. TIP

Transfer students are welcome in the Division of Art and Design.

The transfer of any credits from a previous institution is reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Once transfer or AP credits in art or art history have been accepted by the university, the student needs to prepare a portfolio of work or a CD of images of work and a syllabus or course description for each studio class, and a copy of the syl-labus for any art history class.

Bring that material to Patsy Weaver in the Art Office along with a short note that indicates for which required art class you are requesting transfer credit.

All major transfer credits are accepted at the Division’s discretion. Faculty members will review work from those classes in some cases to ensure that material is similar to concepts and skills in classes taught here. This will make sure you have a comprehensive education in your field.

If you have questions about the transfer credit procedure, please ask to make an appointment with your advisor, Kristina Olson.

In some curricula, such as Art Ed, there is very little room for elective courses, and as a transfer student, you may have to add another semester and you could take advantage of some courses beyond those required, or try an internship.

Transfer Students

Transfer credits can be trickybecause of prerequisites and portfolio reviews. See Kristina and an area coordinator soon, so you don’t lose any time.
