Description

Art with a Studio Arts Option

The curriculum is based on building an awareness and understanding of the historical, technical and contemporary aspects of art with a focus on the significance of art in society. The program offers the opportunity for professional artistic development, while incorporating subjects that lead to a liberal education.

OSU-Cascades' Art: Studio Arts degree program has a focus on printmaking that will include relief, silkscreen, intaglio, monotype printmaking. It explores ideas of multiples, publishing and dissemination. This hybrid approach will utilize both traditional and digital/technological and photographic techniques to generate images while allowing the student to learn historical contexts of printmaking and its place in contemporary art practice.

Minors in studio arts and art history are offered through the art program at OSU-Cascades, and can be added to any major.

Learning outcomes:

Our faculty to student ratio allows students to receive individual attention both in and out of class. Studio art classes are taught by professors and working artists with MFAs, rather than graduate students.

Our students develop their own artistic voices, concepts, and vocabulary while honing technical skills.
Students learn the traditions of drawing, printmaking, painting, and sculpture and may combine these areas with performance, installation, and moving-image.
Studio art majors participate in solo and group reviews of their work.
Professional development is included in the studio as well being the focus of Art 411, a seminal course with practical skills for transitioning to top-tier graduate schools and careers in the arts.

Minors in studio arts and art history are offered through the art program at OSU-Cascades, and can be added to any major. The art history minor prepares students for a range of professional opportunities or later graduate study in the arts. The studio arts minor can be any combination of courses in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, expanded media, photography and digital studio.
