ArtInsalaco College of Creative Arts and ManagementCatalog InformationFaculty
GoalsThe programs in Art are designed to help students attain full development as creative persons through the integration of art studies with the total concept of a liberal arts education. It is through the creative, aesthetic dimension of human intelligence that greatness in culture is born. The human person communicates this dimension through the process of art. The artist, in his/her quest for a common abstraction or "truth" in nature and in humanity, functions to challenge and set standards of excellence in all aspects of human endeavor. Through critical awareness and understanding of the physical world and its relationship to social, ethical and economic conditions, the art student begins this quest.
As an active participant in the mission and philosophy of Marywood University, the goals of the Department of Art include preparation of individuals experienced in diverse creative processes through the various art media. Students are involved intensely in self-discovery, self-evaluation, artistic research (affective and cognitive) and professional presentation of products. As a result, the art student develops a sense of responsibility, empathy and professionalism which then should be reflected, upon graduation, by commitment and involvement as a professional in the larger community. It is this growing sense of responsibility for quality communication balanced with creativity that will enrich future generations. The programs are designed to:
ProgramsSpecifically, the Art Programs prepare students for specialized study in graduate school as well as for careers in the arts. The Bachelor of Fine Arts degree is the initial professional degree in Studio Art and Design. Its curricular goal is the development of persons with technical skills, conceptual abilities and artistic sensitivity to the past, present and future role of art in addressing the needs of humankind. Within the Department of Art at at Marywood, two Bachelor of Fine Arts Programs are offered: 1) Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design with areas of emphasis in Graphic Design, Photography, Illustration and Interior Architecture/Design, and 2) Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art, two-dimensional, with areas of emphasis in Painting, Ceramics and Sculpture. The Bachelor of Arts degree is a liberal arts degree that provides professional preparation for the art educator or arts administrator. The curricular goal of the Art Education Program is the development of future teachers competent in studio art, art history, aesthetics and art criticism. The student's ability to assess the relationships of the arts to human experience and to transmit this awareness within the educational milieu will contribute to the awakening of a world vision. Within the Department of Art at Marywood, the Bachelor of Arts Program in Art Education leads to K-12 certification. The Art Therapy program will offer the student introductory, foundation studies in art therapy combined with studio courses. The program will integrate the arts and psychology with attention to social, spiritual and cultural dimensions, providing a solid base for graduate study in art therapy. The Bachelor of Arts Program in Arts Administration, a cooperative program with the Business, Music and Communication Arts Departments, prepares students for advanced study and for a variety of positions in organizations concerned with artistic presentations. During their course of study, students will be expected to maintain a QPA of 2.50 in their major. Periodically, they will submit examples of their work for faculty review and evaluation. Prior to graduation, Art majors present public exhibitions of their work in the Mahady Gallery. The art programs at Marywood University involve an integration of the liberal arts component and an in-depth curriculum of professional studies. AccreditationThe Department of Art at Marywood University is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD). This association was established in 1944 for the purpose of improving educational practices and helping to maintain high professional standards in art and design education. Included in the membership are outstanding independent schools, universities and colleges that teach art and design. These institutions have proven, through their membership and activity in the Association, their deep interest in fostering high standards for art and design education. Through its annual meeting, NASAD provides a national forum for discussion of the broadest considerations involving the education of the artist and designer. The National Association of Schools of Art and Design is the only national professional accrediting agency for educational institutions in the visual arts recognized by the Commission on Recognition of Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education.

Emphasis: Interior Architecture/Design
The curricular goal of the Architectural Design Program is to enable the student to address the scientific and environmental advances in technology in an approach that is both humanistic and architectural, cognizant of the relationship between the design itself and the society in which the design functions. Through study of the rich diversities of past and contemporary cultures, and the impact of environments on the individual and collective users, the responsibility of the individual in relation to society is emphasized. Design of interiors requires the knowledge and analytical skills for effective design that respond to a safe and functional environment based on human needs.

Emphasis: Photography
Whether working as an applied or fine artist, the successful photographer is one who can find the most appropriate blend of a developed aesthetic and the science and technology of image-making to produce a legible personal statement. The Photography Program at Marywood offers a strong foundation in the technical skills required of the photographer. Traditional media are stressed, while developments in digital imaging are embraced. Fluency in the medium is enriched and expanded by the study of aesthetics and art/photographic history, as well as class discussions and critiques which emphasize the development of the voice of the individual as artist. The relationship of photography to other disciplines, such as illustration and graphic design, is explored in projects involving both areas of study. Marywood's flexible program is designed to meet the individual needs of the aspiring photographic professional.
