Art (BA)

 

Overview

The successful artist needs to develop personal qualities in three important areas: intellectual, philosophical, and technical strength; a liberal arts/ “world view” educational background; and self-assured, creative, problem-solving ability. Science & Arts’ art discipline created its program of studies around these three basic tenets. Our professionally staffed art courses are specifically designed to teach the visual language in a logical sequence. This program reinforces and broadens one's professional education, preparing students for successful careers. The emphasis on liberal arts at Science & Arts is an emphasis on communication, and this department is devoted to aesthetic visual communication. Science & Arts’ art discipline offers two degrees–a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Fine Arts–both in art, with concentrations in painting, sculpture, expanded media, graphics, ceramics, graphic design, computer graphics, photography, illustration, jewelry, and printmaking. Art majors completing all requirements for Teacher Certification in Art will be recommended for Teacher Certification in the state of Oklahoma.
