Patricia Franklin, '71, '73 Art Education Supervisor Newport News Public Schools 2007 National Art Education Award Winner

 

Art majors pursue a wide range of studio work in addition to gaining a foundation in subjects such as art history. They can pursue minors in studio art or art history. Students are encouraged to build a balanced background in the visual arts rather than to concentrate in a single studio area.

 

Students benefit from two portfolio assessments. The first assessment takes place after a student has completed 12-15 hours of studio work near the end of the sophomore year. The second assessment takes place the fall semester of the senior year. In addition, all art majors exhibit in the annual student art show.
