Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces) GALLERY PRODUCTION

Current Course Description: Introduction to matting, framing and hanging artwork. Professional ethics, contracts and gallery exhibition will be covered. Practical work hours contracted for each student in campus exhibit spaces; number of gallery work hours required dependent upon the amount of credit hours taken in a single term. The purpose of the course is to give students practical experience necessary for success in A498, the capstone art course. May be repeated for elective credit. Minimum of one credit required for art majors. Limit of one credit may be applied to the art major or a studio art minor. Prerequisites: A 115 and upper division standing.

New Course Description: Introduction to matting, framing and hanging artwork. Professional ethics, contracts and gallery exhibition will be covered. Practical work hours contracted for each student in campus exhibit spaces. The purpose of the course is to provide students interested in gallery management skills necessary for success in the field. May be repeated for credit. Limit of 4 credits may be applied to the art minor. Prerequisites: A 115 and upper division standing.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): This course change proposal is part of a larger reorganization process to shift all studio art courses from 3 credits to 4 credits. This change will enable students to complete the program efficiently in a four-year degree plan. As a result, the reduced course load will allow students to invest more time per course and increase the potential for greater progress in each subject. This change will also ease the department¿s scheduling grid, and permit increased student access to studio equipment and workspace as students prepare artwork between class sessions. This change in credits will align our program with art programs in both the 4-year universities and 2-year community colleges in Oregon. Students transferring from quarter and/or semester academic programs will typically experience more accurate credit equivalencies with WOU art courses under this proposed system. In efforts to fit our art program into a 4 credit model, we are shifting all of our courses to 2 or 4 credits. A398 will no longer be a requirement for the Art major, but will be an option for Studio Art minor. It may be taken as an elective for art majors who are interested in gallery management. Art majors will learn necessary components of documenting work, framing and matting in their specific concentration areas as well as in A498. A398 students learn skills in matting, framing, documentation, and hanging of artwork. Professional ethics, contracts, and gallery exhibition are also covered. Students previously contracted gallery work hours based on credit-load taken, now all students will contract hours based on the 2 credit offering. The writing component will be expanded to include research and analysis of a gallery related topic.

Students/Program affected: Art major, Studio Art minor, BFA.
