Chair Art of the Department: Michael Shaughnessy, Robie-Andrews, Gorham Professors: Cassidy, Hewitt, Marasco, Shaughnessy, Ubans; Associate Professors: Burk, Grant, Piribeck, Schiferl, Wilson; Assistant Professor: Chen; Director of Exhibitions and Progra m s: Eyler; Studio Technician: MacWhinnie; Coord i n ator of Internships: Volland Adjunct Faculty: Judith Allen, Patricia Anderson, Jean Baxter, Patty Benson, Susan Colburn-Motta, James Flahaven, Rebecca Goodale, Virginia Goodlet, Gary Green, Penny Jones, Richard Lethem, Robert Lieber, Lin Lisberger, Fred Lynch, Bernard Meyers, Elizabeth Olberg, Deborah Randall, David Schneider, Beata Sloan, Richard Wilson The Department of Art offers four-year degree programs in studio art, art history, and art education. Students may select a bachelor of fine arts (B.F.A.) with concentrations in ceramics, digital art, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture. A concentration in art education is available to B.F.A. candidates who wish to teach art. The bachelor of arts (B.A.) in studio art combines a liberal arts education with emphasis on the visual arts. A bachelor of arts (B.A.) in studio art with a concentration in art and entrepreneurial studies, combining study in studio art with courses in business development, and a bachelor of arts (B.A.) in art with a concentration in art history are also offered. The Department prides itself on giving students a rigorous studio experience, an historical understanding of the complexity of art practices, and the critical skills needed to produce informed visual artists, art educators, and art historians. Our goal is to graduate artists and art professionals who possess a thorough grounding in their field (both practical and theoretical), who honor the creative process, and who can write about, criticize, and bring context to works of art. The Department is not tied to a specific style or approach to art making, but instead emphasizes students ability to think creatively, to include their own point of view, and to defend their choices with an informed voice. Admission Requirements Applicants to the Department of Art should observe the following procedure. Formal application should be made to the director of undergraduate admission, Office of Undergraduate Admission. Current degree candidates enrolled at the University who transfer into the Department of Art from another discipline must obtain a change of major form and submit this form with a current transcript to the chair of the Department of Art. A student is then a candidate for matriculation in the Department of Art. All candidates must complete the art foundation, consisting of Fundamental Design I & II, Fundamental Drawing I & II, Art History: Prehistoric to Medieval, and Art History: Renaissance to Present before matriculating as an art major in the Department of Art. To become a matriculated art major in one of the two degree programs, a portfolio of original works must be submitted to the Department for evaluation. Portfolios are not required for the art history concentration. This must be done during or no later than one semester beyond completion of the art foundation courses. If the student completed the art foundation at another institution, he or she must submit a portfolio at the next scheduled opportunity and no later than the second semester at USM. The portfolio should consist of no more than 12 works within specific categories. Each work submitted is to be labeled on the back with the student s name and category. No slides, glass, three-dimensional work, or work larger than 36 x 36 (including matting) will be accepted. Presentation should be considered for the joint purpose of appearance and protection. The Department cannot accept responsibility for damage to or loss of the work. All three-dimensional work must be represented by a minimum of two photographs of each work, matted or in plastic sleeves. The categories and numbers of work for each category are as follows: Two-dimensional works (3 pieces) should be taken from and/or exhibit skills in the visual design of the flat page; Three-dimensional works (2 pieces) should exhibit (in photographs) capabilities in the physical development and articulation of form and space; Drawing category (3 pieces) should contain works of any medium exhibiting skills and concepts of drawing; 89 USM Undergraduate Catalog: 2005-2006 Self-portrait (1 piece) should be executed from life and may be in any medium but should be a representational depiction rendered by hand; and Open submissions (3 pieces) may be work in any medium as long as it conforms to the overall guidelines of this review. Portfolios that do not adhere to the established procedures will not be accepted for review. Art candidates whose portfolios are not accepted are required to meet with their advisor and one additional full-time faculty member to review and discuss their plans for re-submission. Portfolios that are not accepted may be re-submitted two additional times. Failure at the conclusion of these three times will result in denial of acceptance as an Art Department degree candidate. Students are required to submit a portfolio for acceptance to the Department prior to enrolling in any 200-level or above studio courses. Portfolio deadlines and application forms may be obtained from the Department of Art. Portfolios are reviewed once each semester. Final notification of a decision will come from the Department of Art approximately two weeks after the portfolios have been evaluated. Students already enrolled in the University who wish to change their major to art must follow the Departmental admission procedures concerning submission of portfolio, as described above. B.F.A. students are also required to participate in the Department s Junior Review during the time in which they earn between 53 and 82 credits. Workshops in procedures for exhibition and photographing artwork are offered annually. Only students who have completed the art foundation and who have earned 60 credits or more may enroll for Independent Study courses. Grades of C or better must be earned to satisfy a major or minor requirement. Academic credit for summer workshops is available with Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Deer Isle, Maine.
