Tuck: Random Thoughts
Golf celebrations are just the worst. ?Very awkward and clumsy. ?Perhaps less time on the driving range and more time working on high fives and hugs.
Tiger Woods didn't get special treatment by the PGA Tour or the Masters when he was docked 2 strokes instead of DQ'd. ?It's in the rules.
This also: Golf has some stupid rules.
Mistakes happen. ?Athletes make physical and mental errors and so do officials. ?If nobody thought Tiger made a penalty on Friday then it shouldn't be one on Saturday after TV reviews and fan phone calls. ?That's idiotic.
What? ?No way! ?Chip Kelly leaves Oregon for the NFL and less than 2 months later Ducks admit to NCAA violations?!?! ?Didn't see that coming. ?Straight out of the Pete Carroll handbook.
Speaking of Carroll, loved the Antoine Winfield signing over the weekend. ?Right now, looks like the two best teams in the NFL are in the NFC West. ?Your move 49ers.
Can't wait for the NFL Draft, even if it isn't the most exciting incoming class.
Jackie Robinson day never stops being awesome. ?The last #42 in MLB (Mo Rivera) ever will retire at season's end.
Why would any college basketball player unsure of what he should do, declare for the NBA draft early? ?Today is the deadline to return by the new college rules, but the NBA deadline to declare isn't until April 28. ?This is a case not everyone can be happy. ?Players lose and college coaches win in the current scenario.
I keep seeing pictures of MLB stadiums that look like they are empty during games. ?Don't you have to reevaluate your ticket pricing if you are one of those teams? ?What is better: 5 people paying $40 each or 100 paying $5 each? ?Fill up your seats and make?some?money.
There is ZERO reason for the Lakers to amnesty Kobe Bryant. ?Kobe is worth at least $100 million annually to that franchise because of his marketability. ?They sell tickets for more money, charge higher commercial rates on TV and radio, and sell more merchandise because he is there. ?He was on the short-list of athletes that'll make your franchise more money than you'll ever pay him. ?All that before we even address things like loyalty to player, he's a future hall of famer and one of the best players in league history, and he'll be back playing, perhaps even at the start of next season.
I lost my favorite football player for a season to a torn achilles (Dan Marino) years ago and now I lose one of my favorite basketball players to the same injury. ?Just still very sad and disappointing.
The silly season of the NBA stinks for the most part with so many players resting or shut down. ?While it's bad business to rest players, especially the great and popular players, it is a reality in every sport. ?So crying about it isn't going to make it go away. ?And making the season shorter won't either.
And lastly, thoughts and prayers go out to all those effected by the bombings in Boston yesterday. ?There is far too much senseless evil that goes on daily in this world, far beyond just what makes headlines nationally.

Pearls Out Of Swine: Transform Your Foods!by Laurie Kay Olson
What if you could turn just about any food in your kitchen into "caviar?" I'm not talking about taste or even texture. This is all about the shape. You can now turn your food into little balls of taste from the comfort of your own home. All you need is the Imperial Spherificator and the directions on how to use it. A few recipes would get you a long way too.

After more research, it looks like you can just define a combine callback (GLU_TESS_COMBINE) and calculate a proper Z coordinate (radius away from center of sphere). I've never used GLU, so no promises. If that doesn't work, you could always just manually tessellate. Have you tried that and run into problems? I suspect there might be more people familiar with tessellating than using GLU's tessellation process. If you haven't tried, it's probably a lot easier than you might fear.
After tessellating, you might need to make sure the sphere doesn't bleed through. You can do that by making the continents higher than the sphere (radius + fudge factor away from center of sphere). I'm not sure just prioritizing continent data will get rid of all the bleed for this specific situation, but I guess you could try. You can either turn off depth buffer or do it in the shader or render the sphere to texture and use it as a skybox or any other way. But I'm betting for this situation you'll wind up just protruding the continents from the sphere.
Thanks, I will do some research on tessellation first.

Will see $213 this coming Monday.
Sentiment: Sell
Covered at $212.50
So lets see, that is a 2% gain. So if you then factor in your interest due on your margin account, that is a net loss of oh, 6% or so. Don't get me wrong, i am short too, but geez. Do the math first.
Workin so far.
NFLX continues to score upbeat attention from the brokerage bunch, as Lazard upped its price target to $325 from $250 ahead of the open. However, a number of short-term traders remain unconvinced by Netflix, Inc.'s technical chops.
I may see $212

The Downtown ballpark continues to move a step closer to construction.
City of El Paso project engineer Alan Shubert and the ballpark's architect showed off new images of the $50 million project during a presentation at City Council on Tuesday.
Shubert said they're on track budget-wise and there's no reason the City wouldn't be able to build a first-class ballpark on that budget. The new stadium will have up to 7,800 seats which will be mostly shaded, party decks, 21 suites, a waterwall, and high-end concessions.
Shubert said City Hall will be taken down in early April but he isn't ready to release a specific date.

Ceremony at Point-aux-Loups joins couple
IOTA - An early evening candlelight ceremony united Amanda Marie Myers and Anthony Joseph David on Saturday, May 1, 2010. The 5:30 p.m. double ring ceremony was held at the Point-aux-Loups Springs Ballroom nestled against the beautiful Bayou Des Cannes just outside of Iota. The groom's uncle Ray Bazinet officiated the beautiful ceremony. An variety of classical music accompanied by a trumpeter provided musical selections for the event.

She carried a gorgeous combination of pink peonies, green, white and pink hydrangea, green cymbidium orchids, white garden roses, white ranunculus, green berries tied with an iridescent ribbon and adorned with a crystal fleur de lis pin.

The guest tables were adorned with white table clothes, ivy topiaries and tea lights along with a picture of the bride or groom as children.

A fleur de lis theme could be seen throughout the ballroom, in the napkins, bridal cake and the registry.

UM UM GOOD....I made this as a main dish add onions and green peppers served over rice. DH wasn't hungry so he only ate 1 then 2, & then made himself a plate. I was out of cornstarch so I made rue with butter and flour which gave it a darker colored sauce. I love the flavor so I do not think it change it much. Will make as a pot luck dish as it will keep good in a crock pot. Thanks for the great recipe. Made for ZWT4 by a CHIC CHEFS.
Loved It! Love horseradish and of course sausage and of course, beer. Can't go wrong with this recipe. Enjoyed for Superbowl win, 2010. P
I made the sauce first and simmered it to reduce the amount. I then added the cut up kialbasa. Very tasty and everyone enjoyed it.

Erie SeaWolves audition anthem singers
Just more than a month remains before the Erie SeaWolves' home opener at Jerry Uht Park, and some important preparations were underway for the season Saturday that had nothing to do with pitchers and catchers or spring training.
The SeaWolves held annual auditions for national anthem singers at the park Saturday as part of the team's "Super Ticket Saturday" event to get fans excited for the new season.
Kristi Servais, director of entertainment for the SeaWolves, said the top quality she was looking for in people auditioning to sing the anthem was the nerve to get up in front of a crowd.
"I'm really just looking for someone who is confident, and they're going to be able to walk out on that field, sing their heart out and then walk away with a smile on their face," Servais said. "And hopefully there's a smile on other people's faces. It's really just about that confidence. And if they can sing, that's great, but if not, it's not the end of the world."
The team has a rotation of different people who get the chance to sing the anthem, and when they apply to sing they pick preferred games. The team also will have backup singers on call in case the scheduled singer can't perform.
One of the people auditioning, Flexcia Delevine, of Fairview, said she not only has the nerve to sing in front of a packed ballpark, but she relishes the idea.
"I'm a performer by nature," Delevine said. "I really, really, really wanted to be able to perform and actually sing."
Another anthem hopeful, Daniel Harkness, said getting the chance to possibly sing the national anthem before a game would be a dream fulfilled.
"I've just always wanted to do it, so I decided to give it a try," Harkness said. "And I love my country."
Harkness said he is a SeaWolves season ticket holder and is looking forward to the upcoming season either way. And singing isn't his only aspiration for the season.
"The goal is to make it to 70 games this year," Harkness said. "But I don't think that's really going to happen."
Servais said she was impressed with the people who came out to audition, even if she got fewer people than she had hoped for because of the cold, windy, snowy weather. She estimated about 25 people came out.
"I would have expected more if the weather was nicer," Servais said.

A56 - Natural History issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco. Souvenir Albums of this type were probably intended to replace the individual tobacco cards if the smoker desired. They were purchased with 75 to 100 coupons packed with Sweet Caporal, Cleopatra, and New York Standard cigarettes. This album was issued circa 1890 with the images of card series Animals (Burdick 216). Far scarcer than the individual cards. As close to mint condition as we have been able to find. (a56album)

With blush, it's best to stick to dark pink or coral shades, especially if you have cool undertones. Blushes that have golden or deep orange undertones can also work well with dark skin to bring outa warm glow. The blush consistency mostly depends on your preference and comfort levelwith makeup. Baked and mineral blushes provide a more natural, softlook while powder and cream blusheshave a more distinct appearance.
Now onto eyes! Darker skin tones can easily pull off looks where many colors of eye shadow are featured at once. For a modern look, try some metallic colors across the entire eyelid. Blues, purples and golden tones look especially great on dark skin and can easily be used for an exotic evening look. With so many options, it's a great idea to invest in a palette with multiple colors and shades so you can play around and have a new look every day!
What products and colors work best for you skin type? We want to know!

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Laredo 4dr SUV 4WD (3.7L 6cyl 5A)
This was a great car. 55,000 miles and never a huge issue. Sure just had to bring it in for regular maintenance but with the 7 year warranty coming to an end this month we traded it in for a beautiful fully loaded 2015 Limited. While no transmission issues like a lot of people have, my 2015 has a lot of electrical issues that just piss you off! However, my 2008 was a Jeep and it drove like a truck. Crappy gas mileage but a great all around car, no electrical or engine issues ever. Had a small hole in muffler at the end that I didn't repair because I was getting rid of but it was very reliable. I wish I could get it back and maybe trade it in now for something!
Great hopes for the Daimler Chrysler spawn. The Mercedes diesel 3.0 V6 remains spectacular. The Jeep QuadraTrak is amazing, when it works. Mine is so unreliable that, in the 77 months that I have owned it, I have not had the use of it for 14 of those months. First the tranny at 35k (in the end Jeep's Chief Engineer diagnosed the problem), 6 months in shop; the rear end at 60k, in a month, centre differential at 75k, 2 months in shop, centre diff again, at 80k. Now at 115k the tranny and centre diff apparently have badly leaking seals and both are being pulled and repaired to be safe (3 months so far). No warranty now so $3500 plus GST. I AM NOT HAPPY! I will not buy another Chrysler product
Love the turbo-diesel, great power and decent mileage. When it works, the drivetrain keeps this SUV stuck nicely to the road. Comfortable to drive in all conditions.
Reliability is horrible. Oil changes are expensive but reasonable as they change 10 litres of synthetic oil out (Mercedes turbo specific grade) and extra heavy duty filter. Fit and finish is not bad but could be improved (many squeaks and rattles from about 20k on.
2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
I have heard many stories out there about the poor gas milage of the Jeeps.Please,Do not believe them.Sure, they will drink down the gas in gulps if you are getting it on, which they will do!However in mixed driving to work 25 miles mixed city and freeway, with the smaller V8, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is AVERAGING 19.5 Miles per gallon.On the Highway, it is getting 24 miles per gallon AVERAGE! so, for a 4X4 SUV, I would say that is really good!The SUV rides smooth, nimble, small turning radius, all I can want. With Michelin Snows, it digs in deep snow like child's play.If you want a real nice SUV, this is the one for you!1 year later - Two disappointments - The 2008 Limited also lost an Alternator at about 55,000 miles. Not acceptable. Front and Rear Shocks and Struts replaced at 60,000 miles. The 2007 Grand Cherkoee The Back shocks made it to 115,00 which I consider good. Has 135,000 on the Front Struts which have not leaked, but getting weak. The original Alternator is still working great on the 2007. Great! Jeep / Chrysler could have done better. This is why the likes of Subaru, Toyota are shining. The OEM parts are under rated on purpose on American Brands. They need to step it up! Jeep , now Italian - We will see. We love these vehicles especially in Minnesota Winters. Child's play.
This is my first Jeep after loving them since I was little.It's rugged while still comfortable.The speakers are loud and clear, it's comfortable on long trips, and it's quite trusting when you find yourself in bad weather.It swings around to get into parking spaces that other SUVs wouldn't be able to fit into because they don't have a sharp turn.This one does without being scared of embarrassing yourself with having to reverse a million times.SUVs are normally bumpy but this one is pretty fun when it does bounce.The style is masculine but feminine enough for women to drive it without feeling like a guy.
I love the stereo dash looks.
It feels like luxury without removing the rugged look Jeep has.
It has several different options like MP3 CD, 6 CD changer, AUX and Satellite.
The engine needs to be a little bigger.
While other SUVs with 3rd row seating come with 4.0 engine, they are faster.
Jeeps have a 3.7 and seem sluggish at times.
I wish I could get the 4.0 engine without a V8 for speed.
You end up using more gas but choose one:
smaller engine and slow with lower mpg or bigger engine, speed and higher mpg.
Sometimes you need that speed to get out of the way of the crazies.
I always wanted a SUV and we had 2 paid off vehicles so didn't really want to go buy one. Then we wreckedour truck so we decided to replace it with an SUV. Not knowing I'd be getting an SUV soon I just went test driving different SUVs. Bought this because I loved the ride. I've had it 2 years now. It had kind of high miles when I got it but I work 1 mile from home so the miles are not adding up fast anymore. I love love love it. I've had no problems whatsoever. Does great in our Utah snow.

On Wednesday morning, I was strongly considering a column about the outcome of Tuesday night's general election.
Mine was a mixed bag of reactions as several races went my way and others did not. But rather than engage in what might appear to others as a bitter rant, I decided to take some time to digest the outcome of Election 2012, and instead decided something a bit lighter with a chuckle to end this week might be more appropriate.
So, while I wrap my arms around my attempt to summarize more than two years of phone calls and mail inserts for an election column, please enjoy a list of thoughts submitted to me by a friend via email. No credit to me on these, but I figured what the heck, after all the election wear and tear, we could all use a little laugh.
Questions that haunt me
Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway ...
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?
Why, why, why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are going dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use, the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a thread a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And finally ...
The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends - if they're okay, then it's you.

Philadelphia University's Herb Magee became the first NCAA men's basketball head coach to win 950 career games as the visiting Rams (9-6, 5-2 CACC) beat Chestnut Hill College, 67-63, on Saturday.
Jim Connolly (Souderton) led the Rams with 17 points, with teammates Peter Alexis adding 11 points and 12 rebounds and Nick Christian (Bensalem) posting 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Mark DiRugeris Jr. (Woodbury) had 21 points for the Griffins (7-8, 3-3).
Magee, a West Catholic graduate and Hall of Famer, has coached at Philadelphia University, formerly Textile, since 1967.

MICHAEL VICK'S night finally ended at 12:30 this morning, a small groan seeping out as he lifted his body from a chair and stepped gingerly from the podium.
This was after a long stint in the training room, that followed another superhuman performance that required what seems to be superhuman resilience.
"I'm used to taking hits," he said after the Eagles outgunned the Houston Texans, 34-24, at the Linc last night. "It's not that bad. They may look harder than what they seem. But it's not that bad. If I take one and I stay down, then you know I took a good one. I'm a pretty tough guy."

I'm pretty sure that I have tried most every glue/adhesive under the sun. Some work well with depron, most don't. Here is my lineup for what it's worth:
Epoxy - Special areas requiring high strength like firewalls, landing gear attach points, etc. Can be used anywhere but it is messy, sometimes hard to use, long tack time and heavy.
Foam safe medium CA - Good for most general build areas, brittle, MUST use kicker for good cure, expensive, quick tack time.
Beacon Foam-Tac - My go to for most everything. Easy to use, doesn't get brittle, strong hold for foams as well as foam to wood or carbon, fairly quick tack time, inexpensive, cures neuralgia, neuritis and erections lasting more than 4 hours without a Dr's appointment. Best buy I've found is here:
UHU POR or Creative - Good if you can find it. Rare and expensive in USA these days.
Gorilla glue - I don't like it for the mess, long tack time and expense, but is good for gap filling.
PS - My brother-in-law owns the Honda store and shop in Pullman. Go Cougs!
Foam-Tac, which is the best alternative to UHU POR is currently on sale with very good shipping rates (which may make a difference in what your final price is) at Filadelfos RC:
An alternate to Foam-Tac is Beacon's Farbri-Tac which is available at Michael's and Walmart and is almost identical to Foam-Tac.
Just returned from another great morning infused with Polarii. Managed to beat the sun up and had some great flights on the PoLEDris and was then joined by nrg2go and one other. Twelve packs down again - I must order some additional batteries .
I measured the torque tubes I currently use and they are approx 1.65 mm (1/16") diameter. That size seems to work well so I want to continue with that size. Using your stainless welding rod idea, I've found a supplier on eBay that stocks the diameter I'm after (and I don't have to purchase 2kg).
What do you think?
Aus, that is bordering on a sickness. Maybe there is a twelve step program to help you.
I can see it now... 'Hi everybody, my name is Aus'. "Hi Aus, we love you! Have a soft drink and tell us your problem cuz we love you and we can help you!" 'My problem is that the sorry HK is BO on 2200mAh 3S NanoTechs right now, and dammit, I need another 16 to scratch my itch you boneheads!!!' "Yayy Aus! We love you!"
Fade out to the pre-dawn darkness at the edge of the pond... 'Mumble, mumble, maybe if I set my chargers to a 75C charge rate, mumble, maybe I can stay in the air all day without having to wait on HK to get their act together, mumble, mumble.'
Harry Poofter of Sky News here, reporting on the bright flash and thunderous explosion seen and heard across Oz early this morning. UFOs, volcanos and nuclear testing has been ruled out as to the cause. Local authorities are now focusing on the cataclysmic disintegration of an auto battery and the sympathetic detonation of the petrol tank apparently caused by the attachment to some strange electronic devices. Investigators are trying to determine the nature of those devices and the identity of some charred human remains surrounded by what they believe are melted foam objects. Terrorism has been ruled out and the investigation is now focused on the premise of a lone crazed lunatic. Further details and video to follow on our 11 o'clock world report.
Could You Guys Down Under send some of that great flying weather our way? Here in the northwest corner of the US we are just getting blasted with one day after another of wind rain and snow. We did manage to get a day to maiden our latest addition Polaris #3, a mini from Scott at Model Aero. It turned out good, flew great first time out. This one is going to be a night flyer, painted with led lights.
My son set it up so we can switch the lights on and off with the transmitter. More contrast colors coming soon, it seems we are superstitious about adding too much finishing detail before the first maiden.
Lights out!!!! Which switch is it again??? Quick!!
bending carbon
Being a sailor, I too am very superstitious as well, but we have had such crap weather all summer here that I went ahead and painted my microlaris anyway, so I hope that doesn't spell disaster for it!!
Not all parts of down under are getting great flying weather,it seems it is mainly down south so that nrg and Aus can make us all feel jealous)

Just want to double check before I make my order. All I need (foam wise) is a full sheet of 6mm Depron?
What I'm getting at is you never glue to just one side as the problem you are having now is inevitable if you do. What you have to do is use a slow setting glue (20 minute epoxy is fine, but not 5 minute) and assemble the whole thing in one go. That is the fuselage sides and the bulkheads.
I draw center lines on the bulkheads and use them with a straight edge to make sure everything is aligned.
I use pins to locate things and masking tape where possible to hold things together. I'm sparing with the epoxy and avoid at all cost allowing fillets of glue to form -- not only do they add useless weight but they make the joints very rigid so it's impossible to do even slight adjustments in the next stage of construction.
Contrary to the manual, I don't add the bottom next. Instead I insert the wing into the slot and get it glued in accurately. I draw a center line on the wing to assist in alignment. I make sure the fuselage sides are glued with the right width, using top and bottom as a guide (if you have one of the recent kits, the tabs and slots are a huge help with alignment, but if doing it from scratch I would omit them, as any inaccuracy in cutting is worse than no aid to alignment.
After I've got the wing in, I add the battery tray, which defines the curve of the nose. It takes a little sanding to get it to fit just right. Make sure it's really well glued but without any significant amount of excess glue squeezed out -- just wipe it off with paper towel.
I now add two extra half bulkheads under the battery tray to help carry the load in a hard landing. They add negligible weight (provided you go easy on the glue) but great strength.
Finally, when I'm happy with it all, I glue on the bottom, using a few pins to locate it and lots of strips of masking tape to hold it firmly in place. I'm very careful to get the right amount of glue so the joint is completely watertight but doesn't have a lot of excess -- wipe off any that squeezes out, using isopropyl alcohol if necessary. Do this right and you have a permanent joint that is still easy to sand flush.
I hope this helps.

I built a 125% and it flies like a dream. My 100% is twitchy and a handful for my abilities. With a vertical dive it stuck into the mud 41/2 inches with only a small amount of damage and repaired it with Beacon Fabric- Tac in about 1/2 hour.
You can see the mud mark on the fuse if you look close. Hope the pictures loads I have tried to load photos on Magnum Reload with no success.

I had someone try to find the part but I dont know how hard he tried. I figured someone on here might have one or know where to find it. Your parts link didnt work for me. Thanks
May 18, 2013, 08:05 AM
This link should work. (http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/JCHiggins-33318/Rifles-36733/31-38860.htm)
As mentioned you need to figure out which extractor you have. Extractor, .22 Cal. (Claw Type) or Extractor, .22 Cal. (Flat Stamped Steel Type). Both seem to be available from Numrich Gun Parts Corporation.

Art and Art History
Jim Sconyers, Jr., department chair
The Department of Art and Art History offers a minor in Art History and a major and a minor in Studio Art.
Studio Art
Shay Clanton, Barbara Holt, Colleen Pendry, Theresa Rollison, Nancy Ross, Martha Saunders, Jim Sconyers, Jr
The studio art curriculum at Mary Baldwin promotes a process-oriented and creative practice of the language of visual form, where an emphasis is placed upon art making as a thoughtful exploration of ideas. Students learn the following: perceptual skills, analytical and critical competence, and technical skills related to specific media, the importance of process, creative problem solving, various means of artistic conceptualization, and the context of historical and contemporary art. Because of the importance of process and sequential learning in the visual arts, students desiring to major in studio art are encouraged to take foundation courses — ART 109, ART 110, ART 111, and one of the 100-level art history courses — during their freshman year. This will put them on the optimal learning track in the major. Students who plan to qualify for a teaching license with certification in art education should complete the studio art major. Courses specific to endorsement are listed at the end of the studio art courses.
Civic Engagement Opportunities
- Annual visual arts trips to Washington D.C. and New York City, open to the community
- Regular public lectures by prominent artists, art historians, and art critics
- Five professional exhibitions a year in the university's art gallery, open to the public
- Required or recommended internships through our academic majors
- Varied collaborative projects that involve other organizations and institutions, including student exchange exhibitions with other colleges
- Art and art history faculty lectures and service at community organizations
- Exploring civic engagement through class projects and assignments
Requirements for the Major in Studio Art
Students majoring in Studio Art select at least one area of emphasis. With planning it is possible to have two areas of emphasis, which is recommended for students considering graduate school. 39 semester hours are required for all areas of emphasis except graphic design, where 42 semester hours are required.
Each area of emphasis requires the following courses in addition to the requirements listed below:
ART 250 or ART 310
One 200- or 300-level ARTH
Two of the following: ARTH 101, ARTH 102, or ARTH 103
(Note: For students selecting two areas of emphasis, the above requirements only need to be taken once.)
Drawing Emphasis
One of ART or ARTH
Painting Emphasis
One of ART or ARTH
Photography and Printmaking Emphasis
ART 250 or ART 310
Extended Media Emphasis
This concentration is designed for the serious student who has a specific goal in studio art that cannot be met in the above areas of emphasis. Some possibilities include illustration, the artist's book, video, and installation art. This area of emphasis requires the approval and guidance of the full-time studio faculty.
A small sequence of courses appropriate to the medium/idea, to be approved by the full-time studio faculty
