The A.A. program in graphic design prepares students who are interested in the fine arts to understand and apply learning in the field to practical situations. By becoming familiar with the use of art media within various forms of communication, students grow in their ability to give visual form to original ideas. Students develop skills in color and design, interior living environments, drawing, painting, photography, and particularly computer applications used for page layout, graphic, and photographic design. Experimentation with various media helps students determine the best layout for their creations.General Education Requirements

The University of North Texas’ College of Visual Arts & Design (Formerly School of Visual Arts) is one of the nation’s most comprehensive visual arts schools at a public university, and it is considered one of the best in the Southwest. The college is divided into three divisions: studio, design, and art education/art history. There are eight studio art areas within the Division of Studio: ceramics, drawing and painting, fiber arts, metalsmithing and jewelry, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and watercolor. Separate brochures are available for information about each program.

Printmakers are often self-employed, exhibiting and selling their works in galleries, museums and exhibition venues. Some work commercially in printing shops, production studios and in the printing industry. Many choose to teach at a college or university. Increasingly, businesses are seeking employees who are educated in the visual arts for positions in their training and design departments. Studying printmaking will prepare you to become a practicing artist and for the pursuit of an advanced degree – a master of fine arts degree in your discipline – should you consider teaching at the university level for a career.

UNT’s Career Center can help you prepare to pursue your career. The center has information about jobs and employers, and the staff can help you with resume and letter writing, job search strategies and interview preparation.

Printmaking

As a printmaking student, you will take courses in art appreciation, art history, design and drawing, as well as course work for your major studio area. You will have access to large, well-equipped studios and instruction in a wide range of media and techniques. Course work is designed to emphasize sound art fundamentals, creativity and self-expression, and will provide you with life-enriching skills and experiences.

A portfolio is not required for admission to these programs. However, if you are a transfer student, you may need to submit one for placement in courses beyond the beginning level. To insure the highest quality of work, you will be required to submit portfolios of artwork at specific intervals in your studies. At the end of your sophomore year, the faculty members in your area will review a portfolio of your work to determine whether you should continue in the program. Again, during your last senior studio art class in your major, you are asked to submit a portfolio for an exit review.

UNT’s printmaker is an accomplished artist, maintaining a private studio practice and exhibiting his work regionally, nationally and internationally. This insures UNT’s program widespread exposure and establishes a healthy dialogue with other printmaking programs nationwide. Additionally, the University Fine Arts Press can give you unique opportunities to work with visiting artists and master printers.

UNT’s 90,000-square-foot Art Building includes classrooms, computer labs, faculty offices, studios, a workshop, the UNT Art Gallery and a visual resources library. Four other campus buildings house additional classrooms and laboratories, as well as the Texas Fashion Collection, the Cora Stafford Gallery and the University Fine Arts Press.

UNT’s College of Visual Arts and Design is one of the nation’s largest art programs at a public institution and is considered one of the best in the Southwest. The college is divided into three departments: studio art, design, and art education/art history. The Drawing and Painting concentration is in the Department of Studio Art. The program’s curriculum emphasizes creativity and self-expression.

The drawing and painting concentration will prepare you to become a self-employed artist or to pursue a Master of Fine Arts degree. Self-employed artists show and sell work in galleries, museums and a variety of other venues. The M.F.A. degree is an intensive program for those who wish to further develop their art. The M.F.A. degree also can open teaching opportunities at the college and university levels.

UNT’s Career Center can help you prepare to pursue your career. The center has information about jobs and employers, and the staff can help you with resume and letter writing, job search strategies, and interview preparation.

Majoring in drawing and painting

As a drawing and painting major, you will study not only Drawing and Painting, but art appreciation, art history, design, printmaking and other studio arts. You will have access to well-equipped studios and instruction in a wide range of techniques.

Drawing and painting majors spend a lot of time in studio classes creating original works, studying aspects of the field and learning to critique their peers and their own work in different art contexts.

A portfolio is not required for admission to the program, but transfer students may need to submit one for placement beyond beginning level classes. After you complete 6 hours of intermediate painting, your portfolio is reviewed by the drawing and painting faculty. You may be invited to participate in a junior exhibition after your review. Before graduation, usually during your last senior painting class, you will have an exit review that includes an exhibition featuring art work from all graduating seniors.

The drawing and painting faculty members are accomplished artists who are active and respected participants in the professional art world. Each faculty member exhibits their artwork nationally and internationally and travels extensively to maintain a current and high status in their field.

The 90,000-square-foot Art Building at UNT includes classrooms, a computer lab, faculty offices, studios, a workshop, the UNT Art Gallery and a visual resources library. Four other campus buildings house additional classrooms and laboratories, as well as the Texas Fashion Collection and the Cora Stafford Gallery.

Please consult the Department Chair (Professor DiCosola, 561-297-3870) or one of the College advisors (on the Boca Raton campus, make an appointment with Ms. Lent by calling 561-297-3800; for an appointment on the Davie or Fort Lauderdale campuses with Dr. Provost or Ms. Owen, call 954-236-1101) to see if you need additional courses to meet the requirements of the BA degree.

Foreign Language Requirement

The language requirement for the BA degree has two components:

(1) State law requires that all FAU graduates meet the Foreign Language Entry Requirement. This can be met with two years of the same language at secondary (high school) level or two semesters of the same language (or demonstration of equivalent proficiency) at the college level. The state of Florida mandates the acceptance of American Sign Language for this requirement.

(2) To receive a BA, you must meet the University Foreign Language Graduation Requirement. The Foreign Language Graduation Requirement is a proficiency requirement. It can be met by successfully completing the second semester (e.g., FRE 1121) of any foreign language at the college level or by demonstrating equivalent proficiency. If you took a language in high school and have sufficient proficiency in it to take the second semester of it at the college level (for example, FRE 1121), the successful completion of that single course will meet the requirement. If you believe that your proficiency is equivalent to that attained by the end of the second semester course in a language (e.g., FRE 1121), you may take a proficiency exam. If you wish to be assessed for your proficiency in French, German, or Spanish, you can contact University Testing and Evaluation (561-297-3160 on the Boca campus) for information about how to register for a CLEP exam. For information about proficiency assessment for all other languages, contact the Department of Languages, Linguistics and Comparative Literature (561-297-3860, Boca Raton campus). Only the CLEP exam will generate college credit.

Art and Design
The urge to create.
You had it when you were a kid. Do you still have it now? Do you like to draw? Does your
imagination extend beyond your eyes? Can you look at a stone and see a sculpture? We offer
courses in Art and Design that range from painting and basic drawing to ceramics and sculpture. If
you’d rather dive into the work of others, swim in a sea of colors, follow the influence from one
generation to another, you can do that too. Art History and Art Appreciation may heighten your
sense of wonder. This might be the elective—or the career—you’re looking for.
why choose a course in
art and design?

You love it.
You want to improve your skills or explore your talent.
You want to learn about the role of women in art, and we have a course that covers that.
You want credits that may count toward your associate degree.
You want to earn credits that may transfer toward a four-year degree.
Art and Design courses are identified by the prefix ART .
