2. Relationship to mission and strategic plan of institution, and/or college and department
goals and objectives:
This represents an effort to streamline administration and provide clarity for students in the
AR.
3. Rationale:
This is principally bookkeeping – adding recently-developed courses into the appropriate
requirements and electives and reorganizing elements of the AR.
The new course ARTSTDIO 213 – Introduction to Digital Photography has been added as an
option for satisfying the DPI photography requirement for Art Education. The Wisconsin DPI
requirements state:
“An Art, Media, and Design Education teacher will demonstrate knowledge,
understanding, and skill in:
Art, media and design, including:
Basic concepts and skills of studio art foundations involving a balance of twodimensional, three-dimensional, and time-based creative problem solving skills
including drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, craft design,
photography, film, video, and related media and processes; and basic skills in at
least two of these areas.
Basic concepts and skills of design arts foundations involving a balance of twodimensional, three-dimensional, and time-based creative problem solving skills
including architecture, urban and environment design, product and industrial
design, information and communication graphic design, digital photography,
film, video, computer imaging, and basic skills in at least two of these areas.
Basic concepts of media foundations involving a balance of television, movies,
digital effects, game design, animation, advertising, and media literacy.”
As “photography” is referred to generally, and “digital photography” specifically, is seems
appropriate to add ARTSTDIO 213 – Introduction to Digital Photography as an option for
fulfilling this requirement.
3
The new course ARTSTDIO 230 – Introduction to Printmaking has replaced the Intermediate
courses (ARTSTDIO 331, 332, 333, 434) as the appropriate course for satisfying the
printmaking requirement for the major.
The request to replace ARTSTDIO 381-GRAPHIC DESIGN I: TYPOGRAPHY with
ARTSTDIO 287-COMPUTER GRAPHICS FOR THE ARTIST within the major is justified
as the former course’s content is specific to the field of Graphic Design whereas the latter is
predominately concerned with exposing BSE-Art Education majors to the broader “creation
of computer generated artwork with an emphasis on photo based digital imaging techniques”.
