Fine Art - Park University

Fine Art from Park University is a Campus Bachelor Fine Art degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The Department of Arts and Communication offers three related majors in the visual arts: a BA in Fine Art, a BS in Graphic Design and a BFA in Interior Design. Plus, in concert with the School for Education, students may become certified to reach art K-12 with the BSE major. All four visual arts majors share a freshman core curriculum of five courses and a similar capstone course, the Senior Seminar. Students seeking double majors in art (for example, Graphic Design and Fine Art) must fulfill two (2) sections of the Senior Seminar, as capstones for each major. Within the context of Park University?s strong liberal arts tradition, Art and Design students receive a strong foundation in the studio disciplines and in the history of art. Internships allow upper level students the opportunity to explore careers in many art and design fields. Our spacious main studio, the entire top floor of Alumni Hall, overlooks Parkville, the Missouri River, the Kansas City skyline and the scenic Parkville home campus, and provides year-round landscape subjects. Our Sixth Street Studio is a freestanding building that houses the ceramic and fiber studio. Two separate studio complexes in Park University?s underground Mabee Learning Center house the Graphic Design Studio (with state-of-the-art Macintosh workstations, digital cameras, scanners, printers and extensive software) and the Interior Design Studios (with AutoCAD lab, drafting room and materials resource lab). The Campanella Gallery, located in McAfee Memorial Library, offers a year round cycle of exhibits in all media by professional artists in addition to providing graduating seniors with a professional quality exhibition space for their senior exhibits. Access to the exhibitions and programs of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and the Spencer Museum in nearby Lawrence, and the numerous commercial and educational galleries in the Greater Kansas City, particularly in Kansas city?s dynamic Crossroads Arts District add depth and variety to the classroom and the studio experience. Students majoring in Fine Art receive a general introduction to studio work in a variety of media: painting, drawing, photography and ceramics or fiber. Fine Art majors frequently work toward K-12 art education certification in concert with their studio majors; set up their own studios and begin actively producing their art work while finding employment in related fields.
