BFA in Studio Art
Students in the BFA in Art program partake in many shared learning experiences throughout the comprehensive studio art curriculum. Freshman and sophomores explore a broad range of media in foundational studio courses designed to develop technical proficiencies. Sophomores and juniors explore a range of contemporary artistic practices through required courses in Contemporary Gallery Practice, Modernism and Contemporary Art History. Juniors and seniors take four intermedia interdisciplinary studio art courses that promote critical and conceptual thinking as they develop individual artistic voices. The senior seminar course is the capstone experience in the program requiring students to write a thesis statement and install an exhibition of their artwork in Chapman’s Guggenheim Gallery. Students also work together as they install shows that are judged by visiting professional artists and gallerists each semester.
