Minors in Art
All Art Department Minors consist of 24-hours of ccarefully-selected courses. Belmont students from any discipline may elect to pursue a minor in any one of the following areas:
Art History Minor
Art has served a unique role in every society from the beginning
of time to the present. Visual art and architechture
defines human history and communicates the essential truths of
every culture and society. This minor provides students
an opportunity to explore focused topics in Art History by means of
the two standard survey courses, four seminars in specialized
topics such as Greek and Roman art, and any two studio
classes. Coursework may be completed entirely at Belmont
or in combination with a study aborad program.
Design Communications Minor
The Design Communications minor draws many students from the Music
Business and Business schools in particular. This is not
surprising, because creative problem solving is central to these
disciplines as well as the process of Design
Communications. This minor provides students with an
opportunity to complete six levels of Design Communications courses
as well as 2D Design, Drawing, digital Imaging, Typography and Web
Page Design.
Studio Minor
In order to know the world more fully, and communicate this
knowledge more intensely, the language of visual art is
unsurpassed. Everyone has a need to use this language on
a daily basis. Better communication begins with understanding and
creating visual forms. This minor provides students an
in-depth opportunity to explore a broad variety of studio classes,
or to specialize in either photography or painting.
