Overview
The Bachelor of Fine Arts is designed for undergraduate students who want to combine intensive and innovative studio art practice with an outstanding education in the liberal arts. A thorough grounding in art history and critical theory helps students explore issues in their own work and that of others. Studio courses in a wide variety of disciplines mix the rich visual traditions of the past with emerging forms and ideas. Interdisciplinary classes, which integrate modern and postmodern approaches with experimental artistic practices, encourage students to envision fresh new ways of making art.

Registration
All "Intro" courses in the Steinhardt Art department are open on a first-come, first-served basis to all NYU students. No special forms or procedures are necessary. Some intermediate and advanced level studio courses may be available; this is noted on Albert and does not require any special form or procedure. Other courses may be available (on a space available basis) but would require special permission from one of the advisors listed above. Often, however, students have to wait until the beginning of the semester to see if there will be space available in these courses. There are some courses that are only open to art majors, regardless of space availability, including all "Fundamentals" courses.

Special Information
In addition to all of the department's introductory studio classes, the department is especially interested in promoting the following courses to Gallatin students:

E94.0010 Art: Practice and Ideas, 4 pts offered in spring semester
E94.0050 Modern Art and Contemporary Culture, 3 pts, offered in fall and spring semesters
E90.1022 Interdisciplinary Projects, 2-4 pts, several different topics are offered in both fall and spring semesters

ART-UE 501.001 Intro to Crafts II (Metal), 4 pts, January 2012, Class # 1064, Price: $4,636
Studio Art fee: $250


Also note that, with very few exceptions, the department generally requires that students take an introductory course, regardless of their skill level, before moving on to more advanced courses. Also, though not required, it is helpful for students to have examples of their art work readily available on CD or DVD for help in placing them in intermediate and advanced courses.
