The Department of Fine Arts includes three areas: Art, Music, and Speech and Theatre. Each, though a separate unit, complements the others.
The Department of Fine Arts is primarily a place to learn. It also serves the campus, the community, and the state by providing artistic, cultural, and educational leadership. Basically it is concerned with providing opportunities and encouragement for students to develop inherent talents and capacities. It also enables the students to put into practice techniques learned in the classroom.
Participation in classes and programs in the three areas is open to all students. All students are encouraged to embrace these opportunities in order to give dynamic meaning to their developing aesthetic experiences and to develop the whole person.
The Art Program is devoted to the responsibility of giving students a basic understanding of the fundamentals and principles of art. Students in art are encouraged to develop insight, sensitivity, and perception toward all aspects of nature, leading to individual expressive responses. Aesthetic and functional values are stressed in the study of the many facets of art. Students are given the opportunity to develop creative ideas and skills through a wide range of applied studio and classroom experiences.
A suggested plan of study in this area is given below. Students should select courses with the approval of a departmental advisor in order to fulfill the requirements of the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer.
ASU-Beebe is not authorized to award an Associate of Arts-Liberal Arts degree with a specific area of emphasis. The courses below are recommended electives of the AA-Liberal Arts degree and provide a foundation to prepare the student for a Bachelors degree program. Only the listing of Associate of Arts will appear on the transcript and diploma.
