艺术硕士-视觉艺术

我们教我们的学生体验和重视视觉思维和艺术中创造性的解决问题的能力，并认识到感知，实验，创新和批判性思维的同时重要性。我们的学生必须了解艺术的历史和传统，并将其与社会和社区关注以及不同文化的艺术联系起来。他们必须利用整个大学以及艺术系提供的服务，设施和技术并与之互动。“视觉艺术”选项的重点领域是陶瓷，绘画，插画，绘画，摄影，版画，雕塑和视频/数字。每个学期的12月和5月将对Visual Arts中的MA选项进行档案袋审查。
The 30-unit M.A. in Art option in Visual Arts emphasizes the experience and value of visual thinking and creative problem solving in art, as well as recognizing the concurrent importance of critical thinking, experimentation, innovation and perception. Graduate students must understand the history and traditions of art and their cultural, political and social relevance. They are encouraged to utilize and interact with the services, facilities and technologies offered throughout the University, as well as those provided by the Department of Art and Design. The program has areas of concentration in Ceramics, Drawing, Illustration, Painting, Photography/Video, Printmaking, and Sculpture. The graduate faculty is comprised of working artists, including members of the tenured/tenure-track faculty and visiting artists, writers, and critics from the Los Angeles international art community. Together, they form a diverse, experienced, and supportive faculty. The goals of the Department of Art and Design are to establish and develop for students an inclusive and balanced program in visual art, which encompass three areas of study: art education, art history and visual arts. Students are taught to experience and value visual thinking and creative problem solving in art, as well as to recognize the concurrent importance of perception, experimentation, innovation and critical thinking. Students will also understand the history and traditions of art, with their relevance to social and community concerns, as well as the art of different cultures.
