Art

It's not one thing but a combination of many different things that distinguishes Tarleton's art program from other programs:  small class sizes, a beautiful facility with excellent technological resources, multiple exhibition opportunities, field trips to galleries and museums in Fort Worth, and a faculty of distinguished artists who are dedicated to giving each student the individual attention they need to develop as a professional artist.  At Tarleton, there is a strong sense of community that is enhanced by the Tarleton Art Society, a student organization that builds connections and professional involvements.

Yes, Tarleton has a BFA in art with an emphasis in digital media.  This degree is suited for anyone interested in obtaining a studio art degree with interests in the broad spectrum of digital art media, which includes photography, video, sound, 2D animation, graphic design, and interactive art work.  Some new art courses within the Digital Media emphasis include ART 381: Digital Print Based Media, ART 382: Digital Time Based Media, and ART 481: Interactive Art Media.

For more information about the Digital Media program at Tarleton, contact Assistant Professor Chris Ireland at ireland@tarleton.edu.

The Department of Fine Arts sponsors two student exhibits a year - one at the end of each semester. There is also a student run gallery that is organized by the Tarleton Arts Society.  In addition to the regular exhibits, student work is displayed in several parts of the building. The Tarleton Arts Society also provides more outlets for work to be displayed.

Tarleton Arts Society is a student run organization that offers opportunities for art shows on campus, community involvement, and extra curricular activities.
