Welcome
to the Department of Visual Arts at Kennesaw State University.
We in the Department of Visual Arts are committed to the personal,
individual, and artistic development of students through the celebration
and nurture of artistic creativity and innovation. We are committed
to the value of self-discipline and the achievement of both individual
and collective goals in the visual arts that enhance the quality
of life and shape the aesthetic consciousness of our community.
Our goals are to assist students in the acquisition
of a broad understanding of the visual arts and to recognize art
quality in their own personal expressions as well as in the work
of others; to provide direct experiences in the visual arts for
students, faculty, and the community through quality art exhibitions,
lectures, and publications; and to provide professional training
for individuals seeking careers in the visual arts.
As one of the cornerstones of the College of the Arts,
the Department of Visual Arts offers a B.F.A.
Degree with concentrations in graphic communication, drawing
and painting, ceramics and sculpture, photography and printmaking,
as well as a B.S. Degree in Art Education. An M.A.T. in Teaching Art will be offered in 2009.
We currently have over 500 declared majors in visual arts
programs. Our faculty consists of 19 members, both full-time and
part-time. Currently we have 64 visual arts courses listed in
the undergraduate catalog. Our
department has accreditation from the National Association of
Schools of Art and Design. Our new award-winning Visual
Arts Building provides 32,000-square-feet of studio and classroom
space with state-of-the-art equipment.
The
department has a nationally recognized exhibition program with two campus galleries and a permanent
collection of over 200 works of art. Our sculpture-on-the-grounds
collection is the largest of any in the Georgia university system.
Our Visual
Resource Center provides faculty with teaching resources.
