Studio Art Information

 

 

This section of your packet contains the following items:

 

1)             Application for Individual Studio

Any declared art major with an emphasis in studio art is eligible for a student studio.  The attached application is to be completed and returned to Sharnetta Clark-Gordon during the first week of classes in each semester.  All applications will be reviewed by the studio faculty and assignments will be made on a priority basis, as explained on the application.  If you are assigned a studio, you can receive your key by bringing a $10 cash refundable deposit to Kay.  Your deposit will be returned at the end of spring semester after your studio has been cleared and checked out.

 

2)             Rules for Students Using Individual Studios

This handout provides guidelines for use of a student studio.

 

3)             Policy on Study Abroad

This policy, approved in the spring of 2002, ensures that courses taken

through the study abroad programs of other institutions are as academically

rigorous and comprehensive as a comparable course offered at or through Davidson College.  The policy is as follows:

 

Art majors may receive up to two credits towards their major for courses

taken abroad.  Students will need to submit documentation of work done to

the department assistant, Sharnetta Clark-Gordon, by September 10th for the previous spring

or summer semesterıs courses, or February 10th for the fall semesterıs. 

Documentation includes the syllabus, class notes, any papers written, projects

undertaken, tests and the final examination.  For a studio class, all two-

dimensional work and documentation of three-dimensional work should be

submitted.  The material will be evaluated by a committee of either studio or

art history faculty, as appropriate, in order to determine whether the work

meets department standards.  If in the facultyıs opinion the case is borderline,

the student will be asked to pass a test to verify her or his competency in the

subject matter of the course in question.

 

REMINDER:  The department does not assign credit for graduation.  That is

the Registrarıs responsibility.

 

4)             Course Review for Credit Form

This is a copy of the form that is to be submitted with the materials from any course taken at or through another educational institution.  Please be sure to complete a different form for each course and attach it to the materials when submitting them for review.  At the completion of the review the department will notify you and the Registrarıs Office of the outcome, and you will be asked to pick up your course materials.

 

5)             Art 397 and 401

The first page provides general information about the two required upper-level courses for studio majors:  Junior Advanced Study and Senior Exhibition and Exam.   The second and third pages contain the lists of artists for whom you will be responsible in Art 397 and Art 401.
