Art Studio, Minor College of Letters & Science
The Minor Program
The Art Studio program delivers a broad range of hands-on studio practices to the art minor. Areas of focus include painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, ceramics, printmaking, and time-based media. Course choices/sequences are determined by the student according to minor requirements. Students are encouraged to explore different areas of focus and are expected to take advantage of beginning classes which provide a critical introduction to the research possibilities within studio art. In addition to studio classes, students are encouraged to participate in the department’s distinguished visiting artist lecture series, professional practice seminars, student exhibitions/competitions, internships, and benefit from exposure to cultural events and exhibitions in Davis, Sacramento, and the Greater Bay Area.
Prerequisite courses must be taken prior to enrollment in upper division courses. Independent study courses are not applicable.
