General Statement
The department of art is a community of scholars, both faculty and students, engaged in a common pursuit of knowledge. Our goal is to be a facilitator of learning: to prepare competent and caring practitioners with multicultural perspectives. The mission of the Department of Art at Tennessee State University is to:
1. provide a four-year course of study for students desiring to enter the workforce in the visual arts;
2. provide a four-year course of study for students desiring careers as elementary and/or secondary art teachers;
3. help students develop an attitude, which leads to continued study at a more advanced or professional level in the field, as well as to engage in life-long learning practices;
4. provide service courses for students engaged in the study within other units of the university;
5. provide an opportunity for the campus and the community at large to gain exposure to the range and vitality of contemporary art and contemporary concerns in art education through exhibitions, lectures, visiting artists, and seminars;
6. provide a historical context for personal study and development in the visual arts and/or visual arts education.
