ART 1005, 1110, 1120 and 1130 are consid- ered an important preparation and prerequisite for drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture and graphic design courses and are required freshman courses for the major. Ma- jors must complete the foundation core hours before electing upper-division courses in any studio area. ART 2010, 2020, and 2305 are required sophomore courses. Once sophomore majors complete course prerequisites, they select a minimum of three courses from the studio core hours. Most of the university and college requirements should be completed as early as possible before the senior year. The department will enforce published prerequisites for courses. Art majors must submit a portfolio for evaluation before proceeding to intermediate and advanced studios beyond the required studio core. Any student whose portfolio is assessed as deficient must address the deficien- cies before receiving permission to advance in the major. Please note: Students who do not pass the portfolio review will be able to resubmit the following semester. However, if students fail more than once, they will be unable to progress in the department of art and may be asked to transfer to another department or UW college or complete an art minor. Portfolio evaluation will occur once in each of the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Art Concentrations. In choosing art electives, students (in consultation with their department adviser) may select from a full range of art course work either broadly based or with concentration in the areas of painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics or graphic design.
