Producing art as a means of personal expression and studying art in its historical context, enriches the life of every student. Although each approach can be pursued independently, study of the links between the two provides valuable insight into our cultural roots, both Western and "non-Western." Art challenges each of us to discover and invent ways to communicate ideas through visual forms. Further, art speaks to us about the past, helps us to confront the present and prepare for the future. Art encourages us to understand and explore a vast range of traditional and non-traditional ideas, materials and forms.
Students may choose from two major programs: a major in art, with an emphasis in studio art, or a major in art history. Both of these programs culminate in a Bachelor of Arts degree. The department also offers a studio minor, an art history minor and a minor in documentary photography. A special interdisciplinary minor in graphic communications is available for students interested in computer imaging and design.
The major in art includes core courses in studio art and art history, which are to be taken during the first two years. In addition to the core program, the studio art emphasis includes upper-level work in art history and a three-course sequence in one of the following studio areas: painting, drawing, ceramics, photography, printmaking or sculpture. Special opportunities to study glassblowing, as well as letterpress, book arts and papermaking are available through directed study tutorials.
The core courses in studio art must be completed successfully before the student majoring in art may participate in the Junior Review, a one-week exhibition with group critique held in Foreman Gallery, Anderson Center for the Arts. Successful completion of the Junior Review is required before an art major may begin the senior project, which is the culmination of the major in art. Junior Review is scheduled for spring term; students considering a full junior year abroad may petition the department by spring of their sophomore year to postpone their Junior Review to fall of their senior year. The senior project, an exhibition of original works, normally earns one course unit.
The major in art history is designed for the student who is interested in researching and writing about the history of ideas through the study of works of art and their makers. This program includes two core art history survey courses, taken in the first year. The surveys serve as the foundation for seven additional art history courses required for the major, which introduce the student to the discipline of art history through an investigation of a variety of historical styles, techniques and ideas. Art history majors are also required to take two studio arts courses; this hands-on experience enables the student to directly engage skills and concepts used by artists, and to understand how different materials and tools affect the creative process.
A required senior seminar, which includes the senior thesis, is held in the fall of the senior year. The course consists of original art historical research. In the spring of the senior year, students, through an oral presentation, present their research to the art faculty.
The department also offers a varied schedule of art events, including visiting artist and art historian lectures, art films and art exhibitions, which are designed as part of the student's education. Studio and art history majors are required by department policy to attend out-of-class events sponsored by the art department. The activities are described each term in the art department schedule of events.
A number of special study opportunities offered by the department further enrich the art program at Hartwick. Individualized instruction in studio classes gives students the opportunity to work closely with professional artists. The full-time faculty is joined each semester by resident artists-specialists in such areas as glassblowing, graphic design, letterpress and drawing-and by prestigious visiting artists who conduct workshops or lectures. Past visiting artists have included Richard Artschwager, John Wood, Kay WalkingStick, Paul Soldner, Olivia Parker, Michael Bramwell and Ik-Joong Kang.
Other special opportunities include department-sponsored study programs in Europe, the Caribbean and New York City. In addition, students may do advanced work or independent study with a professional in a medium or area of special interest. They may also intern with professional artists or art historians in a variety of fields including book illustration, advertising, photo-journalism, gallery and museum management, and art history research. Students interested in curating exhibitions for museums or galleries are encouraged to gain experience through internships supervised by appropriate art department faculty.
Two special on-campus initiatives, Round House Press and the Design Resource Center, offer students the opportunity to develop professional skills in fine arts printing and computer-assisted graphic design. All majors in the department at Hartwick take courses in other disciplines as part of their liberal arts education. The background and experience gained by students of art at Hartwick has enabled them to begin careers in a wide range of art-related fields. Others pursue graduate study at such institutions as Otis Art Institute, Columbia University, Rochester Institute of Technology, Syracuse University, Washington University, Pratt Institute and the University at Albany.
Potential studio art majors must submit a portfolio for review, either as prospective students applying for admission to the College, or later as "undeclared" students selecting a major course of study.

The courses described below, open to both majors and non-majors, offer instruction in studio art and art history from introductory to advanced levels. All students are invited to enroll in 100-level courses as well as certain introductory courses in art history (206, 207, 209), printmaking (231, 331), photography (241) and ceramics (270, 271), for which previous studio or art history is helpful, but not required. For some introductory studio courses in painting and sculpture (221 and 262), students may request the instructor's permission to waive prerequisites. Those who are neither majoring nor minoring in art may also take upper-level courses when they have fulfilled the prerequisites. Students may repeat certain advanced courses up to three times each: 312, 421, 431, 441, 461, 471, 481. Although potentially all studio and art history courses are designated for credit in the creative and performing arts category of Curriculum XXI, only one CPA course is required. Therefore only those art courses without prerequisites are likely to fulfill the requirement. Upper-level and topics courses may count for the one CPA credit if the professor is willing to waive the prerequisite. Students are also encouraged to take additional studio and art history courses as electives.
101 Visual Imagination (Art Appreciation) Human visual imagination is explored in its full range and variety by examining works of fine art (painting, sculpture, architecture, ceramics, printmaking and photography), folk art (weathervanes, carvings, scrimshaw, shop signs, quilts and handmade toys) and popular art (films, television, advertising, package design and comics). Questions dealt with include: What is imagination? What is creativity? What are the basic visual elements? What are the different media of the visual arts? What are some of the various meanings of the visual arts in different historical periods? This course cannot be used to fulfill a studio or art history requirement. The course is offered intermittently. (CPA)
