Hello! Thank you for visiting the Art and Design department webpage. As you know, the COVID-19 situation has brought on many rapid changes that are ongoing. However, our desire to promote student learning and success has not changed! Please take a moment to read the following information items:
Most faculty and staff will continue to work and teach remotely during the Spring 2021 semester. The Art and Design department office continues to be closed. Because of this, phone calls do not give you the most effective way of contacting us; if you do need to call, though, the number is (310) 243-3310. The College of Arts and Humanities phone number is (310) 243-3389. Information regarding advising in the major is at the bottom.
Art and Design Department’s Catalog Description
Art History: All Art History course have moved to an online delivery.
Design: All design courses have moved to fully online delivery.
Studio Art: Most Studio art courses will be taught remotely with the exceptions of ART 150/361/463 (Ceramics 1,2,3) and ART 392 (Mixed Media Sculpture) These courses have limited face to face contact with small groups meeting as they follow safe social distancing measures. No face to face meeting will happen until the week of February 1st. Face to face meetings, although encouraged, will not be required for completion of course curriculum. Safety is our highest priority and we want to provide flexibility for your comfort and safety. For more information on these specific courses, please contact the instructor.
Generally speaking, e-mail gives you the best way to contact us. Of course, if you have a question regarding your Art and Design classes, you should contact your instructor directly. If you want more general information and want to e-mail the department, it’s a good idea to include our office administrator and the department chair. General advising questions can be directed to department chair, Jim Keville. See contact information below and one of us will get back to you as soon as possible.
