Differences between the proposed program and the programs listed above: Disncveness of Proposed MFA Program

Since Sacramento State opened in the late 1950’s The Department of Art has been a center for innovaon and discovery for many arsts of the region with naonal and internaonal reputaons. Generaons of Faculty have offered their professional studio pracce as example to support their instrucon to all students. The current Master of Arts (30 units) has funconed as a course of study for students needing high level of faculty and fellow student contact, rigorous discourse and guidance with their art invesgaons. Unfortunately, however students seeking a terminal degree in studio art must move or travel from the Sacramento area consequently the populaon of students in the MA program is primarily local. In his January 5th Consultant’s Report Robert Milnes states,

“Students in the program are almost enrely recent graduates of the BA program at CSUS, predominantly enrolled in the MA as a post-baccalaureate preparatory period, creang new artwork for acceptance to MFA programs. If the BFA proposal goes through, the increased preparedness of the graduates would seem to further limit the demand for the MA program, as students graduang from the BFA should have adequate porolios for acceptance in MFA programs.”

For the MA (30 units), students are given two years to complete. MA students engage in many of the same programmac requirements as an MFA (60 units) program. The current art faculty are proposing this MFA to build on the merits of the MA program while elevang rigor, study, units and the professional status to a terminal degree in Studio Art. Although the MFA will replace the current Masters of Art, The Department of Art will be seeking other opons for this general MA degree path. Report Milnes adds,

https://nextcatalog.csus.edu/courseleaf/approve/ 12/40 11/7/2019 Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art “It might be possible to redirect the current MA in Art (Studio Art) degree toward specific technical or career direcons (similar to the Curatorial Studies opon in the BA in Art (Art History), which would allow overlap in some courses with MFA students, to think of it as a stage within the terminal degree” page 19

The proposed MFA meets and exceeds requirements held by NASAD and comparable universies and art schools in the United States and Canada. These components include 60-unit credit requirement, graduate seminar, art theory, art history and art cricism with the majority of units dedicated to intensive art studio pracce. Studio experience is of prime importance and emphasis is placed on creang and producing an extensive porolio of work that addresses contemporary pracces.

Unique to the proposed MFA at Sacramento State is the series of milestones and a clear sequenal path to graduaon (aachment: Course Plan MFA Roadmap). Adopng Milnes's recommendaon, students will be able to see and idenfy clearly, through course tles and descripons, semester by semester study, and how to navigate their work toward the culminang experience. Milnes report:

“As a terminal degree, admission requirements in the new degree should be high enough, and regular reviews clear enough, that incoming students should be able to advance to candidacy and graduate within two to three years and compete for opportunies with others with comparable degrees”. Page 18

Courses such as Graduate Seminar ART 222 (seminar 12 units) and Mentored Individual Studio Pracce ART 201 (studio 9 units) are taken in sequence (ART 222A,B,C,D and ART 201A,B,C). In addion each student will take Graduate Studio and Crique (studio 18 units) each semester. The combined ART 201 series and ART 207 and ART 208 amount to 27 units of the 60 unit degree.

Reflecng on the current MA the proposed MFA connues our strengths in offering both cohort and individual experiences for the graduate students. Key and principled is the ART 201A-C Mentored Individual Studio Pracce series where students establish a connuous relaonship with a faculty member to guide the creave vision and academic invesgaons while in the program. In the final semester students will end the ART 201(sequence) with ART 500A Graduate Culminang Experience (Thesis) to work with the same faculty member to codify their studio findings. Unlike other MFA programs where a thesis is not required, https://nextcatalog.csus.edu/courseleaf/approve/ 13/40 11/7/2019 Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art the ART 500A requirement is dedicated to compleng a wrien compliment, or supporve document, to the body of work completed for their Final review and Exhibion.

The ART 222A-D series and ART 207 and ART 208 provide consistent cohort experiences in both studio and seminar throughout the enre program. In the ART 222A-D series students will be challenged with more academic assignments with presenng presentaons, wring arst statements, discuss readings and research and engage in contemporary professional discourse. In ART 207 and ART 208 students work in their studios and engage in crical discussion regarding their work and the work of their peers. In ART 207 and 208, the students individually and collecvely work towards their semester by semester reviews (aachment: Course Plan MFA Roadmap). These experiences are where experimentaon, innovaon, high level of producon and professionalism is challenged. They allow students to increase their abilies of oral defense and verbal discourse in respect to their work and to bring those skills to their reviews.

ART 206 Art Theory and Cricism (graduate cohort) and ART 212 Contemporary Art (combined lecture) is where students study and invesgate in group experiences with contemporary theory and crical thinking through readings research and wring that offer a context through an Art Historical and theorecal perspecve. It is in these courses where students discover their unique voice amongst the myriad of Art exploraons of the current.

The proposed MFA curriculum also offers elecves and teaching opportunies for those students wanng to explore a career in academia. Graduate students may take 6 units of elecve courses that include graduate and upper division studio art courses and courses offered throughout the university. Graduate students oen have varied inter-disciplinary interests that feed into their work which may range across university curriculum. These units may be applied towards their degree and offer further opportunies to expand on graduate learning outcomes including intercultural/global perspecves.

For many graduate students a university teaching career is viable. While our MA offers the opportunity to teach at the community college, the MFA, being the terminal degree, will further opportunies in university teaching posions at the undergraduate and graduate level. In collaboraon with the College of Educaon EDTE 280B Instruconal Design, is a course designed to have students learn lesson planning, develop academic strategies and assemble syllabi. The course offers both secondary and post-secondary approaches t t hi d ill f d f th ki i d i hil b ildi t d https://nextcatalog.csus.edu/courseleaf/approve/ 14/40 11/7/2019 Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art to teaching and will serve as a foundaon for those seeking careers in academia while building towards their next semester course ART 231 Teaching Praccum. In ART 231 students will shadow a Faculty member in a studio course. The student will work closely with the faculty and students in an applied experience with studio classroom management, course design and objecves. The proposed MFA plans to include teaching opportunies for graduate students during their second year of their tenure. They will be paid, compeve posions to teach lower division courses in the Department of Art.

It is the senment of the Department of Art Faculty that the Master of Arts degree has served the students and community of Sacramento extremely well for the past decades. It has provided a place of study for tradional aged students, parents returning to school, working professionals and a diverse populaon of the Sacramento Region. The proposed Master of Fine Arts will connue to serve the Sacramento region with the intenon to serve a much greater populaon. The City of Sacramento and Northern California has been a desnaon city and look towards this professional degree as providing a further draw to the area to add diversity and to broaden the professional art culture of the region.

The Proposed Master of Fine Arts in the context of Sacramento State’s connued reputaon for excellence will be a draw for many arst professionals seeking a higher degree. The proposed degree program offers rigor, structure and flexibility to a populaon of students working together and individually with common goals. The Department of Art has a dedicated and commied faculty with helping students achieve their goals and the mission and goals of Sacramento State.

The Department of Art has always had a strong alignment with the University’s mission, vision, and values, and strategic goals and the College of Arts & Leers three strategic themes. The proposed M.F.A. in Studio Art maintains a curriculum that:

• Provide opportunies to experiment, explore, challenge and invesgate art and expression through intensive study, making and exhibing • Provides students the resources, studio environment, challenging discourse and experiences that live well beyond their tenure as a student • Embraces innovave teaching and scholarship with our students through the involvement of faculty and students in projects, acvies, and events off campus. • Provides students with high contact/high engagement professional learning experiences with skills that https://nextcatalog.csus.edu/courseleaf/approve/ 15/40 11/7/2019 Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art • Provides students with high-contact/high-engagement professional learning experiences with skills that nurture leadership mastery and excellence.

Professional uses of the proposed degree major program: The Master of Fine Arts is the terminal degree for Studio Art and is primarily sought by students desiring to bring their art to a professional level of pracce and to clarify their vision and concepts regarding contemporary art and art pracces. Student’s pracce and research in the studio lead to the producon of compelling and groundbreaking work that can affect regional, naonal and internaonal art communies for decades. As a product of this study graduates are qualified to enter into university teaching and administraon. Graduates qualify for full-me or part-me lecturer and Assistant Professor posions and can apply their experience to teach courses in their areas of experse. Graduate students who have taught courses during their tenure in the program will have sample syllabi and teaching experience that will assist them in their job applicaons. Entry level administrave posions can also be suitable for MFA graduates.

The MFA is also a qualificaon for post-graduate study. MFA graduates would qualify for further study in many university curricula. Another significant post-graduate opportunity is naonal and internaonal arst residencies, which offer valuable opportunies and awards across the fine arts. https://nextcatalog.csus.edu/courseleaf/approve/ 16/40 11/7/2019 Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art

Most of the Art Department’s programmac and pedagogic funcons are divided between three facilies: Kadema Hall, Mariposa Hall, and the Art Sculpture Lab. Located in Kadema Hall are the department office, most faculty offices, two art galleries, a conference room, a 70-seat lecture room, several studio classrooms, service rooms, and storage rooms. The Art Department has two dedicated high-end computer labs for its New Media Art courses in Mariposa and Kadema Hall. It also has two large lecture rooms (shared) where our “mega-classes” of 100-120 students somemes are scheduled. The Art Sculpture Lab, located on the north side of campus, is about ten minutes-walk from Kadema Hall. This large warehouse-like structure, formerly used for storage by the California Fish and Game Commission, dates from 1940s. It houses three large studio classrooms, several workshops and service rooms, two faculty offices, most of the graduate student studios, and a mezzanine area where a few undergraduate students are able to work independently. Other portable structures (repurposed boxcars) have been set up in the yard behind ASL for the storage of supplies.

Below is a summary of the classrooms (lecture rooms and studio classrooms) currently used by the Art Department in Kadema, Mariposa, and ASL with the primary teaching funcon or art medium also indicated.

Kadema: 101: Ceramics (Hand-Building) 106: Printmaking 107: Beginning Painng 131: Ceramics (Wheel-Based) 103: Ceramics Graduate studios 145: Art History 160: BFA studio 170: Art Educaon (also used for some Art History seminars) 266: New Media Art (studio space with sound-recording studio, facilies and equipment for 3-D prinng, blue-screen for studio photography and video, etc.) 268: Drawing https://nextcatalog.csus.edu/courseleaf/approve/ 35/40 11/7/2019 Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art

Mariposa: 1001: Art History (shared with mulple other departments; used for mega-classes only, once or twice per semester) 1007: New Media Art (computer lab)

Art Sculpture Lab: 106: Drawing and Painng 108: Drawing and Painng 110: Sculpture 100: Shared Graduate Area 100: Graduate Studio Spaces in and around 100, 100A-201C

These three facilies meet most of the needs of our current academic program, although addional improvements could be made in both Kadema Hall and the Art Sculpture Lab.

The Art Department’s events calendar is dominated by art exhibions, with a full slate of shows in each of its two galleries in Kadema Hall. Named aer a prominent regional arst who was one of the original faculty members of the Art Department and who also served as its chair, the Robert Else Gallery is the larger of the two spaces and has been the primary venue for graduate student exhibions, the annual Awards Show, the final show of BA students in Studio Art, and mul-week exhibions by guest arsts, curated by members of the Art Department faculty (one or two each semester). Emeritus Professor Raymond (Woody) Wi, for whom the other Kadema gallery is named, also endowed the R. W. Wi Scholarship Awards in art and art history. This smaller space, originally known as the Student Gallery, is sll used primarily for the display of student work, and the majority of its exhibions result from students responding to the “Call for Proposals” that is issued by the Art Department each Spring. Art faculty and staff also have proposed shows for the R. W. Wi Gallery.

Both the Robert Else Gallery and the Wi Gallery will be used to support the required MFA exhibions.

Kathy Garcia (kathy.garcia) (10/03/19 4:27 pm): Rollback: ART 207 and 208 are not currently listed in the catalog. Are these new courses that have been/will be approved? Is ART 208 a 6- unit course? If not, it should be noted that it must be taken X-number of mes for a total of 6 units. How are ART 207 and 208 being used as both core requirements and elecve graduate studio courses? Are students really supposed to take 18 units of these two courses? Carolyn Gibbs (carolyng) (10/15/19 3:59 pm): Here is my response: 1) Yes, both 207 and 208 are new courses and have been approved. 2) Yes, ART 208 is a 6 unit course. 3) It is listed correctly as a 6 unit course. It can be taken two mes for up to 12 units. 4) Graduate students are required to take ART 207 and ART 208 at least once each. Students, however, need to take 18 units of Graduate Studio Crique and depending on when they enter the program will choose to take ART 207 and Art 208 one more me or ART 207 three more mes to get up to 18 units for this requirement. The taking of these kinds of studio courses mulple mes is very much in line with how graduate educaon in the arts works. Each me a student takes the class, the work that is produced is different but sll aligns with the course’s learning outcomes.
