Students in drawing and painting are expected to demonstrate:
During their enrollment in ART 3000, drawing and painting majors must present a portfolio of work for review by a panel of faculty. The review will occur each semester, shortly after mid-semester. Each student will exhibit 15-20 pieces of work that demonstrate the student's ability to draw from observation. Most of the work should have been produced in ART 3000, but some work that represents the student's best efforts from previous classes may be included. Work should be appropriately presented. Five works may be in slide form.
Students must pass the mid-point review in order to enroll in any drawing and painting courses beyond ART 3000. Students who do not pass the review may request permission to resubmit work for review on the counseling day immediately preceding the next registration. Failing this, students may initiate one further review which will be allowed by specific arrangement with a faculty adviser and at the convenience of the drawing and painting faculty.
Transfer students must submit work for review when they are counseled preceding their initial registration at UNT.
Graduating seniors, during enrollment in their final long semester of ART 4802, Painting Studio, will present their work at mid-semester for an exit review. All of the work for the exit review must have been produced after the completion of ART 3000 and the mid-point review. The work should be prepared as a one-person show; if the show is not actually hung, the following required work will be presented to the faculty:
If students do not pass the midsemester exit review, they may request an additional review at the end of the semester. Students who fail to meet any of the review criteria by the end of the semester will not pass the final ART 4802 class, and must repeat the course and pass the exit review prior to graduation.
Record of success in passing the senior exit review will be furnished to the student and recorded for the School of Visual Arts.
