The Department of Visual Arts, Music, and Theatre fosters study in the practical application of various arts disciplines, as well as study in the historical, cultural, and philosophical underpinnings of each discipline. Art offers a B.A. in Visual Arts and minors in Visual Arts and Art History. The Visual Arts Program and the Psychology Department work in tandem to offer a minor in Art Therapy. Visual Arts majors study the arts in a context that emphasizes the acquisition of processes and technical skills in various studio disciplines as well as the understanding of historical context and philosophical concepts in art. While developing skills in critical thinking, creativity and innovation, students learn to effectively communicate verbally and visually their worldview. In Visual Arts courses, faculty and students work together in a professional and creative learning environment that fosters inquiry and analysis through information literacy. The Bachelor of Arts curriculum allows students to tailor a course of study suited to their professional and personal ambitions. Students have the option to focus their studies in one media area or sample a broad range of art and design perspectives. Visual Arts offers a variety of courses in the areas of painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, graphic design/digital media, photography, and art history.<br><br>As an extension of classroom teaching, the department sponsors exhibitions of regionally and nationally recognized artists in the Visual Arts Gallery located on the second floor of the Health and Sciences Building. Students are expected to attend openings and workshops to gain exposure to contemporary art and access to the technical expertise of professional artists. Visual Arts majors culminate their study at UIS with the presentation of their own work in a Senior Exhibition held every spring in the Visual Arts Gallery. The Daniel Lesh Memorial Scholarship, the Glosecki Memorial Scholarship, the H. Albert Inkel Memorial Scholarship, and the Schnirring Dungan Scholarship are awarded to students pursuing a degree in Visual Arts. Additionally, students may apply for the Student Studio Award on an annual basis.
