Interdisciplinary Art & Design Studies (IADS) provides students with an opportunity to explore and obtain an expansive vocabulary within multiple disciplines. Its focus is interdisciplinary with a choice of concentration within one discipline. Areas of program concentration unique to IADS are Advertising Design, Fashion Design at Parsons Paris, Museum Gallery Studies, and Teaching Artist.

What differentiates this program from a major field of concentration such as a major in graphic design or photography is a shift in focus from discipline specific to overall breadth and interdisciplinary experience. Consequently, students will be exposed to a greater variety and range of disciplines taking fewer courses in any one area of concentration. Students will not identify their area of concentration until the end of their sophomore year. Students will be required to take core concentration courses throughout their junior and senior years.

In the second year, upon completion of the first year foundation program, students will be required to take the introductory course work prescribed within the major disciplines of Fine Arts, Photography, Graphic Design, and Illustration. This interdisciplinary experience will provide students with the necessary background to identify an area of concentration for further study in their junior and senior year.

In the junior year students will be immersed in their chosen area of concentration through multiple studio courses, an internship, and an introduction to professional practices. During the senior year students will continue to work within their given concentration as they develop their senior thesis project and professional portfolio.

This new program recognizes the changing forces within the art and design community. Today, more and more creative fields have become interdisciplinary. Artists and designers are called upon to address new challenges outside their area of expertise, traversing new horizons and learning new vocabularies. This program will provide students with a greater range of knowledge and the ability to navigate comfortably between the art and design disciplines of tomorrow.

Game Art & Design — Bachelor of Science

The bachelor’s program in Game Art & Design offers a broad range of work-ready design and technology competencies focused on career paths in the specialty of game art. Students will acquire a combination of skills in drawing, perspective, 2-D design, and animation. They will study lighting and scene setup, color theory, anatomy and gesture, as well as explore motion maps, characters, level design, and rotoscoping. Students also will develop skills in scriptwriting, storyboarding, character animation, programming, networking, and Web-based game content production. In this program, students will learn the importance of creating portfolios and reels that reflect their knowledge of the game industry.

Method of Instruction
Instructional methods at The Art Institute of California – Orange County include lecture, demonstrations, labs, one-on-one tutorial, and periodic examinations. Except for internships and field trips, all instruction is conducted in a classroom setting.
Total Credit Hours: 192
12 Quarters.

As a photography student, you will take courses in photographic processes, art appreciation, art history, black-and-white photography, color photography, digital imaging, design, drawing, painting and sculpture. You will learn black-and-white, color and computer-enhanced photography techniques.

A portfolio is not required for admission to UNT or the College of Visual Arts & Design (Formerly School of Visual Arts), but you must participate in an entry review prior to completing Black and White Photography II in order to pursue a major in photography. At the end of your sophomore year, the photography faculty will review your portfolio to determine whether you can continue in the program. You also must submit your work for a senior exit review. Further information regarding the reviews is available from the photography faculty.

Photography faculty members are considered experts in their field. One faculty member’s photographs hang in the Bibliothéque nationale de France in Paris and in the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth. Another faculty member’s work is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.

Continuing UNT students may apply for scholarships that are awarded by the College of Visual Arts & Design (Formerly School of Visual Arts) primarily on the basis of performance in the student’s major. Academic scholarships are available through UNT’s Student Financial Aid and Scholarships office.

The University of North Texas’ College of Visual Arts & Design (Formerly School of Visual Arts) is one of the nation’s most comprehensive visual arts schools at a public university, and it is considered one of the best in the Southwest. The programs in the school are grouped into three areas – art history/art education, design and studio. Photography is among the programs in the college’s studio division.

As an art photographer, you will need technical knowledge and creativity. The course work at UNT emphasizes self-expression, style and technical ability. Art photographers use light, lenses, film and filters to produce photographs. They are often self-employed, selling and exhibiting their work in galleries. Many photographers also use their art skills in commercial photography, photographing products for catalogs or for print advertisements.

Graduates of this program work as freelancers or are employed on the photography staffs of various publications. Some own their own businesses, whereas others work as artists, displaying their photos in galleries. You do not need an advanced degree to become a photographer, but teaching photography at the college level requires a master of fine arts degree.

UNT’s Career Center can help you prepare to pursue your career. The center has information about jobs and employers, and the staff can help you with resume and letter writing, job search strategies and interview preparation
