Studio

• MAJOR PROGRAM IN STUDIO
• MINOR PROGRAM IN STUDIO

The Studio curriculum is built around the idea that art is a means of expressing and understanding the human condition. It does not include courses in commercial or advertising art. The studio experience is intended to expand the student's perception not only of what art is, but of why and how it is made, and to develop the ability to understand and experience the challenges of contemporary art. Critical skills will expand along with practical skills.

MAJOR PROGRAM IN STUDIO

This program will give the student a full and broad exposure both to the various processes of art-making and to recent developments in art criticism. It provides some preparation for teaching at the high school or elementary level.

We strongly urge students to take additional art history courses dealing with modern and contemporary art.

Students must complete seven full credits from Studio including:

1.	VPAA05H	Collaborations in the Visual and Performing Arts
	VPSA62H	Foundation Studies in Studio
2.	VPSB70H	Drawing I
	VPSB74H	Drawing II
3.	At least one-half credit from:
	VPSB63H	Sculpture Concepts
	VPSC66H	Theory and Practice I
	VPSC67H	Theory and Practice II
4.	One full credit at the D-level.
5.	3.5 further credits from courses in VPS. Students may substitute 1 full credit from VPA or another discipline (such as ENGC75H) with the written permission of the Program Supervisor.

MINOR PROGRAM IN STUDIO

Students are required to complete a total of four full credits in Studio. The four credits will be made up as follows:

1.	VPAA05H	Collaborations in the Visual and Performing Arts
	VPSA62H	Foundation Studies in Studio
2.	VPSB70H	Drawing I
3.	One-half credit from:
	VPSB63H	Sculpture Concepts
	VPSC66H	Theory and Practice I
	VPSC67H	Theory and Practice II
4.	Two full credits, one at the C- or D-level, in the chosen area of study.

[NOTE: VPSA62H, Foundation Studies in Studio, which covers basic media and concepts through practice and discussion, must be taken with its co-requisite, VPAA05H, before advancing to other studio courses.

Students will be expected to purchase the materials necessary for each course. An estimate of the costs is available from the Program Supervisor.]
