Art Minor
The art Minor offers a strong foundation in the classical
methods of learning visual art-making process. In each studio
course, the elements and principals of visual art are approached
through OBSERVATION, INTERPRETATION, and RESPONSE. Although
formalism is taught and encouraged, it is woven into the
resulting art work rather than standing alone as “abstract.” By
this method of learning, the faculty and student have a common
source, similarly perceived, which guides the process of
decision making and problem solving when creating works of art.
The Art Minor compliments other academic majors through
strengthening the student’s ability to communicate visually.
The courses are best taken in numerical sequence. Some courses
have prerequisites. Please refer to the official Montreat
College Academic Catalog.
