Fine Arts Film Studies - Milligan College

Fine Arts Film Studies from Milligan College is a Campus Bachelor Film degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The fine arts major is designed to contribute to the development of students' God-given personalities and talents by increasing their appreciation for and knowledge of human creativity. Within that context, the major in fine arts cultivates the development of Christian artists who glorify God by striving for the highest standards of artistic excellence-ministering to people through their art and contributing to the richness and beauty of life, both in the church and in society. Graduates with a fine arts major are expected to: (1) demonstrate a clear understanding of the fundamental skills, theories, principles, and technologies necessary in the making of art, film , music, photography, or theatre; (2) demonstrate the capacity to formulate a personal philosophy and aesthetic direction for their art; (3) demonstrate a basic understanding of the link between art making and the study of art history and current trends in art; (4) be capable of constructing intelligent standards for the critical evaluation of art. The strength of the fine arts major lies in its interdisciplinary nature. There are five areas of emphasis from which a student may choose when declaring a fine arts major. They are art, film studies , music, photography, and theatre arts. The electives within the fine arts major are determined by the students with their advisers to address the specific goals of the students. The fine arts major is available only as a Bachelor of Arts degree; foreign language through the intermediate level is required. In lieu of a senior exit exam, all fine arts majors take the senior fine arts capstone course, ART 421 The Arts, Faith, and Culture. Film Studies emphasis A fine arts emphasis in film studies gives students a solid foundation in the three primary disciplines within cinema studies: film history, film theory, and film production. This course of study examines cinema as a medium of artistic expression with a particular focus on developing critical skills centered within a Christian worldview and production skills developed within traditional artistic models. The program culminates in two senior-level courses where faith and the arts are studied and where the student produces a short film for exhibition at the Milligan College One Act and Film Festival. Along with a semester of study at the Los Angeles Film Studies program, the Film Studies emphasis will prepare students for application to a graduate film school (where one may earn either a PhD or MFA in cinema) and eventual employment as a professor of cinema or for work within the motion picture industry.
