The Department of Art and Art History  represents a diverse faculty actively engaged in the production of art and in its historical and critical evaluation. The department prides itself on its commitments to high standards of teaching and sound research achievements. Individual faculty has been cited for their teaching excellence. Art history faculty members have written books, articles, and critical reviews and regularly participate in national and international conferences. For their research art history faculty have received research grants from such major institutions as the J. Paul Getty Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the American Philosophical Society. Studio art faculty exhibit nationally and internationally in group- and solo-juried and invited exhibitions. Their work has been accorded various show awards and received financial support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ford Foundation, and University Research grants.

General Information

Degrees and Areas of Concentration
The department offers course work leading toward the B.A in art history and the B.F.A. in studio art.
Courses included in the B.A. in art history cover the arts of Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America, including Native American arts, from ancient times to the present. Courses examine the entire range of human visual expression from painting, sculpture, architecture, and photography to performance and festival arts in the tribal world. In each case the arts are examined within their historical, aesthetic, and cultural contexts.
The B.F.A. in studio art consists of a foundation art program and an emphasis area in one of the following:  drawing, graphic design, painting, photography, printmaking, and general fine arts. UM-St. Louis has a transfer agreement with the St. Louis Community College District, which offers a direct credit transfer to upper division BFA courses for students who graduate with an AFA degree from the SLCC.
To support its teaching and research objectives, the department maintains a slide collection of over 80,000 slides. The collection, which includes examples of painting, sculpture, architecture, photography and decorative arts, is under the supervision of a professional slide curator, who is available for special assistance to staff and students.

Gallery 210
Gallery 210 located in Lucas Hall offers visual arts programming of regional, national, and international importance. The gallery's exhibitions and related arts programming have enjoyed a long and distinguished history of service to the university and to the St. Louis community. Gallery activities are supervised by a professional gallery director.

Gallery FAB
Located in the Fine Arts Building, Gallery FAB exhibits a range of work by artists of regional and national significance.  The exhibitions are coordinated by members of the Studio Art Faculty and complement the teaching emphases of the Fine Arts program.

Gallery Visio
Gallery Visio is a student-run gallery located in the Millennium Student Center. Its exhibitions are devoted primarily to the display of student and faculty work.

Scholarships/Internships
Three scholarships are available on a competitive basis within the department: the Art Department/Barbara St. Cyr Scholarship, the William T. Isbell Jr. Scholarship, and the Aronson Scholarship. The department also sponsors a variety of internships with local arts institutions, including the St. Louis Art Museum, the Missouri Historical Society, Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, Laumeier Sculpture Park, and various private art galleries.

Pre-Professional Graduation: Architecture
The Department of Art sponsors the 3+4 Program for the School of Architecture at Washington University. A student who transfers to the School of Architecture, Washington University, at the end of the junior year may graduate from UM-St. Louis after the satisfactory completion of the first year of professional school upon meeting one or more of the following conditions:
1) The student has completed all general education requirements and all requirements for a major and lacks only the total hours (electives) necessary for a degree.
2) A student who has not completed required courses for a degree must remedy the deficiency with courses taken at the University of Missouri-St. Louis within three years of entering the professional school. At the time of graduation the student must remain in good standing in the professional school or have successfully graduated from the professional school.
3) A student who has not completed all the courses required for a major may, if the major department at UM-St. Louis agrees, substitute up to six hours of appropriate course work from the professional school.
The requirement that 24 of the last 30 hours of course work for a degree be taken at UM-St. Louis shall be waived where necessary for students graduating under this procedure.

Career Outlook
Study in art history broadens and enriches a general education, offering insight into the visual, architectural, and cultural artifacts left by earlier, as well as modern, civilizations. Art history graduates have found career opportunities in teaching, museums, galleries, libraries, historical societies, sales and auction houses, and historic preservation, and as travel guides, art administrators, and editors and in art restoration.
Students with degrees in studio art find careers in teaching, advertising, public relations, graphic design, illustration, film and video production, art administration, art restoration, product and industrial design, framing, and commercial photography.

Course Descriptions
Courses in this section are grouped as follows: Art History and Studio Art. Prerequisites may be waived by consent of instructor. For the nonmajor, any number of studio courses will be accepted as electives.
