BACKGROUND NOTE 

Art has always been taught at South Dakota State University.  The earliest courses of study required women students to take drawing and painting, and drawing appeared in all curricula for men.  Later more courses in art education, fine arts, and visual arts developed, through the Department of Art.

Today, the Department of Visual Arts courses are designed to provide students with studio and lecture experiences in art regardless of their major.  For students wishing to pursue careers as artists, art educators, or designers, the programs offer the background for careers after graduation or further advanced study.  Students may pursue a Visual Arts degree with concentrations in art education, graphic design, fine arts and general art.

SCOPE AND CONTENTS NOTE

This collection is composed of material produced by the Visual Arts Department. Folders include programs, pamphlets, exhibition material, clippings and photographs. Some items of note include completed student projects for the Art History course and photographs of Ada B. Caldwell and Maud Goddard, early Art faculty at South Dakota State College.
