College of Arts and Sciences Department of Art N evv Gallery Goal for Artists Strengthening the graphic and interior design programs became a primary goal of the art department this year. Don Robinson, Chairman of the department, expressed a hope of increasing the number of art majors. He also demonstrated the need for a new art gallery. "We need more than just a living room," he explained. "We need space for a permanent collection. The current gallery is largely outgrown." Three degrees were offered by the art department. A Bachelor of Arts degree or a Baclwlor of Science degree allowed students to focus on any facet of art. A Bachelor of Fine ~rts, however, centered on graphic design, three-dimensional design, or painting. As a rule, the department promoted approximately 25 shows a year. There were generally 4 major art shows brought in besides the student displays. The Kansas City Art Alliance planned to exhibit colored pencil drawings in the fall semester of 1991. Both art clubs, Kappa Pi and the Art Guild, took every opportunity to visit museums in cities such as St. Louis, New Orleans, Chicago, and Tulsa. Dr. John Keller and Mr. Paul Pitt, associate professors of art, acted as sponsors for the Art Guild. Faye Doran, Gregory Clayton, and Don Robinson advised Kappa Pi. Each year, Kappa Pi sponsored a high school art show in the spring to allow younger art enthusiasts to display their work. by Carolyn Holmes 240 Guided Impressions Greg Clayton, M.F.A., Assistant Professor of Art Faye Doran, Professor of Art John Keller, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Art Paul Pitt, M.A. , M.F.A., Professor of Art Don Robinson, M.A ., Professor of Art and Chairman of the Department
