DEPARTMENT OF ART AND ART HISTORYProfessors: R. Kelly Detweiler (Department Chair), Samuel R. Hernandez The Department of Art and Art History offers a degree program leading to the Bachelor of Arts in two undergraduate majors, art history and studio art, with courses in both disciplines fostering a thorough understanding of both the history and practice of art. Department faculty encourage interdisciplinary connections with the Santa Clara community through course offerings that fulfill a wide range of College and University Core Curriculum requirements, as well as courses through the Residential Learning Communities and the University Honors Program. ART HISTORY The art history major at Santa Clara is distinguished by excellent teaching and mentoring, challenging coursework, as well as opportunities for study abroad, peer educating, and student internships at local and Bay Area institutions. Moreover, we support, in conjunction with our fully accredited campus museum, Explore with Me, a docent-training program for our students. Advanced art history majors are encouraged to participate in our annual Art History Symposium and the Art History Research Paper Competition. The art history major features numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth to understand better the meanings and purposes of the visual arts, including their historic development, their roles in society, and their relationships to other fields in the humanities. Students learn to think critically and communicate clearly about works of art. The art history major develops the following skills: knowledge acquisition, critical thinking, analysis of visual and textual sources, advanced research and writing skills, and sophisticated oral presentations. These intellectual skills enable art history majors to pursue a diversity of interests in a wide spectrum of fields and professions, including graduate work in art history. STUDIO ART Studio art majors develop comprehensive skills necessary for careers in either the fine or commercial arts. Faculty members emphasize the development of conceptual and technical competence, as well as critical analysis of the student’s own work and that of others. By graduation, every student develops a body of original artwork to be exhibited in a senior show in the department gallery. Students are required to articulate an artist’s statement reflecting their own engagement with the creative process, in conjunction with their senior show. Studio art majors take all three sections of the Western culture art history sequence and are encouraged to continue with one or more courses in 20th-century or contemporary art. The Studio Seminar is highly recommended for all studio majors and should be taken in the third or fourth year. At the end of each year, students are encouraged to submit their work to the Annual Student Art Exhibit and to compete for an array of prizes. Studio art majors may continue to develop their skills in graduate school, or may choose to move directly into art-oriented jobs. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJORS In addition to fulfilling the University Core Curriculum and the College of Arts and Sciences requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree, students majoring in art history or studio art must complete the following departmental requirements: Major in Art History
Major in Studio Art
Studio art or art history courses taken during a term of study abroad normally may be applied to no more than half of the requirements for a major or minor in studio art or art history. Students who wish to receive credit toward a major or minor for studio art courses taken at affiliated study abroad programs must be able to document their work for review by members of the department’s faculty.
