Head piper sounds the call What do you do with a major in 9 History r "- Art or i Art ; - " -v 4,. ' ZACHARY VEELLEUX Staff Writer You don't know what you want to do with your life? You're not alone. Always eager to assist, theVoice wants to help. Here is the second in a series of articles designed to introduce students to various majors offered at Wooster. Beginning last week with archeology, we now continue, in alphabetical order, to art ' and art history. . I The Wooster art department concentrates in the basic creative fields ofart: painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and photography. While every art major wants to make a living as an artist, this is often a very difficult task. But that should not scare anybody away. Many art majors apply their skills in art to other fields. An art major can get a job teaching art at a university, college, secondary school or a cummunity art center, or find a position as a designer in industry. And there's alway the chance to work in a gallery or museum. An art major is taught logic, order, visual imaging, and other skills that can be applied to almost any other field (architecture is one of the more popular ones). Anybody who doesn't believe that visual images are very important in today's society needs only to look around at posters, advertisements, magazines, . newspapers, or buildings to be convinced of how important art is. t. What about art history? This field tends to stress the history part its title. It includes studying painting, of sculpture and architecture from a cultural point of view. An art history major can find a career in such fields as teaching, museum cureating, art sales, art critcism, historic preservation, art business or art theory. Many corporations also need art majors to assist them in investments in art or in sponsoring art exhibitions. Many art history majors go on to get Ph.Ds in art or art history or even Archeology or Anthropology, two closely related fields. r Art and art history majors from past years now hold many pre&igous titles. One alumni is now the director " . I of the Seatle Art Museum. Another is the Curator or Painting at the Minnesota Art Institute. Some alumni found jobs at universities: One is a professor, of Architectural History at Boston University, and another works in the Art History department at Indiana University. Making a choice about what to do with the entire rest of your life is obviously very important and should

i not be taken lightly. No one major is going to right for everybody, but with a little luck, everybody should -- find one major that's right for them. Art and art history are worth checking into for anybody who is interested in visual images, architecture, cultural history, or any one of many other subjects that these fields cover. - photo by JOSHUA FAGANS George Thompson at Saturday's football game against Allegheny. - Fisher welcomed to Wooster Sorting out our future by recycling ALFRED THOMPSON International Student Counselor, SHANNON PEERY materials: There are separate places for each Assistant Features Editor which is very similar to her present Special to the Voice Paper white, non-glos- sy .pastel, item in your dorm.
