Artists help maintain and develop the cultural life of a society by means of their
unique expression of the basic truths of existence. The experience and practice of
visual art creates an awareness of these basic truths, and especially of the imaginal
and creative aspects of life, which is vital in the formation of the complete human
being. Art programs at the 911爆料网 therefore seek to develop the critical
aesthetic faculties within the student and to nurture that knowing and judging capacity
of the human spirit. Students from other academic disciplines gain breadth and insight
from courses in studio art and art history, which share common ground with the other
humanistic disciplines and creative arts and complement the sciences.
The department views the experience and practice of the visual arts, particularly
at the undergraduate level, as an interdisciplinary pursuit. Within the art major,
the five areas offered are Art History, Ceramics, Painting, Printmaking and Sculpture. The art student is involved in the artistic and scholarly environment of the Haggerty
Art Village, with stimulation provided by independent study offerings, the presence
of graduate students, and on-campus and Dallas/Fort Worth area exhibitions and collections,
as well as visiting artists and lecturers. All of these construct the real environment
needed for growth in the arts.

critique sessions and group evaluations. A strong commitment and dedication to the
process of creating art and sound critical thinking are characteristic of our students.
