The Department of Fine Arts offers degree programs in art, music, speech communication, and theatre.

Art means two things: 1) creative works and the process of producing them, and 2) the whole body of work in the art forms that make up the entire human intellectual and cultural heritage. When we study art, we involve ourselves in a particular set of processes, products, influences, and meanings. We recognize that art is expressed in various styles, reflects different historical circumstances, and draws on a multitude of social and cultural resources.

The terms arts, discipline, and art form refer to music, theatre, and the visual arts, and recognize that each of these encompasses a variety of forms and subdisciplines. When we speak of the arts, it means these arts disciplines taken together or, most inclusively, the totality of all the activities in the arts. At UW-Platteville, speech* is considered a performance-based art.

Assistant Professor: Paul Shecter, R.G.D.

Programs of study are offered in art, art education or graphic design each leading to a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science degree in the College of Liberal Arts and Education. Students seeking a K-12 certification in art education would take the comprehensive art emphasis. Art education majors must complete the College of Liberal Arts and Education general requirements, the School of Education proficiency requirements, and the requirements of the basic art emphasis.

Each of the emphases within the art program has a particular goal. The emphasis in graphic design is intended to prepare students for careers in the commercial areas of art. The emphasis in art education prepares students to teach on the elementary, middle and high school levels. The art emphasis has a more general goal. It can be used as a preparation for graduate school or as a field of study for students interested in art in and of itself.

General Requirements ­ Bachelor of Science Degree

Total for Graduation 120 credits

General Education 44-58 credits

Major Studies 48-54 credits

Bachelor of Arts Degree

Students who wish to receive a bachelor of arts instead of a bachelor of science degree must

Music

http://www.uwplatt.edu/lae/music.html

Professor: G. Daniel Fairchild, Michael E. Lewis

Associate Professors: Robert K. Demaree, Barry L. Ellis

Assistant Professors: Christina Shields, Anne Thurmond

Lecturers: Barbara Burdick, Joseph Caploe, Paul Thurmond

The Department of Fine Arts­Music program is designed to promote performance of music, the study of music form, and knowledge of the history of music as well as the teaching of music. As one of the principle fine arts, music is the art that most deals with emotion and the one that directly communicates to the listener. Performance opportunities exist that help provide a rich cultural life for the campus, the community, and the region.

Programs of music study leading to a bachelor of science or a bachelor of arts degree with and without music education certification are offered in the College of Liberal Arts and Education. Students who plan to teach at the elementary level, middle school level or secondary level may choose instrumental, choral, general music, or combined certification programs (see advisors in the music unit of the Department of Fine Arts). Other degree emphases are available in instrumental music, vocal music, and music and business.

Music education majors complete the College of Liberal Arts and Education general requirements, the School of Education proficiency requirements, the basic core curriculum for music majors and depth courses in music.

All students intending to become licensed teachers must satisfy the requirements outlined in the section, "Teacher Licensure" listed under Education.

The Department of Fine Arts/Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

A degree in music may lead to a career in traditional areas such as teaching, performing, composing, and arranging, or to a career involving business, computers, and recording technology.

The music unit at UW-Platteville is designed to provide many musical experiences and training. Close contact with faculty and modern facilities such as acoustically designed concert rehearsal and concert halls in the Center for the Arts are important features at UW-Platteville.

The music unit of the Department of Fine Arts serves the student body and the region as a cultural resource by providing general courses for all students, and specialized courses leading to those occupations requiring musical expertise. Recognizing that culturally aesthetic enrichment is a vital part of university life, a goal of the music unit is to provide high quality instructional experiences through performances by guest and faculty artists and student performing organizations.

Students of all academic disciplines are encouraged to participate in a music organization.

Speech Communication

http://www.uwplatt.edu/lae/speech.html

Professor: Mittie J. Nimocks

Associate Professors: Karen Bennett Allen, F. Gerald Bench

Assistant Professor: Daniel Dahlquist

The speech communication program offered by the Department of Fine Arts is the study of HUMAN COMMUNICATION ­ people speaking and listening to one another. Speaking and listening are the most basic communication activities of our waking hours. The speech major emphasizes communication as the foundation for all successful human activity.

The objective of the speech major is to equip you, the graduate, with the necessary skills, knowledge and attitude in order for you to speak with and listen to others effectively, whether one-on-one, in a group, or part of a team.

Improving your oral communication skills through the study of speech will make you a much more valuable and effective professional asset to your employer, community and nation. It will also improve the quality of your personal relationships, family communication, and play time.

Graduates with a major or co-major in speech find work in many fields, including banking, public relations, sales, child care, marketing, retailing, law, industry, management, human resources, law enforcement, government, education, and politics­to mention a few. Speech is an excellent major to prepare you for any of the 19 pre-professional programs offered at the university.

The Department of Fine Arts offers studies leading to a bachelor of science or a bachelor of arts in speech. Speech majors must complete the College of Liberal Arts and Education general education requirements and the requirements of the major. All students intending to become licensed teachers must satisfy the requirements outlined in the section, "Teacher Licensure" listed under Education.

General Requirements ­ Bachelor of Science Degree

Total for Graduation 120 credits

Major Studies 36 credits

Bachelor of Arts Degree

Students who wish to receive a bachelor of arts instead of a bachelor of science must

1) declare their intention of doing so,

2) meet the requirements for a B.S., and
