The department considers advising to be an important part of a
student's academic program. There are many differences among
students in their career goals, and each major and minor in the
Department of Art receives professional guidance to determine an
appropriate and specialized program. Students who work closely
with their academic and area advisors in this way are more
likely to meet their goals and achieve academic success.
All students must work with their academic advisor prior to
registration each semester, and must participate in annual
department assessment reviews that serve to enhance students'
scholastic and creative development.
The programs of the Department of Art are conducted in over
70,000 square feet of professionally equipped and maintained
space. The Fine Arts Building houses the graphic design and
computer graphic studios, classrooms, the art education
facility, an extensive slide library, and departmental offices.
The studios for painting, photography, printmaking, papermaking,
and drawing are located in historic Fairbanks Hall. The Fine
Arts Annex is a vast factory-like space that houses ceramics,
sculpture, and sculpture--wood/studio furniture.
Students gain exposure to artists of national and international
significance through a regular schedule of exhibitions and
lectures in the University Art Gallery, located in the Center
for Performing and Fine Arts Building. The Bare-Montgomery
Gallery, located in Fairbanks Hall, provides students with the
opportunity to exhibit their own work or to curate exhibitions
of student work. In addition, the Indiana State University
Permanent Collection contains an impressive inventory of
twentieth century artwork that is exhibited throughout the
University.
