ART EXPERIENCE POINTS
ART EXPERIENCE IS A PROGRAM devised by the Professors in the Department of Art & Design to encourage students to participate in the world of art outside their studio. By attending an art event, a gallery, a museum, an artist's studio, a conference, or an artist's talk you can accumulate points that are required for most art courses. Most courses require 10 POINTS for each semester. The 10 points can be shared among all classes, so you only need 10, total. Here is how the points are broken down:
Events in Lenawee County count 1 POINT;
Out-of-county events count 2 POINTS;
Overnights (sponsored by the Art Department.) are 3 POINTS.
If you have an exhibition it counts for 2 POINTS.
Only ONE experience not on the List will be counted.
Points are acquired by thoughtfully answering the questions available at on campus events. If no questions are supplied, students can answer their choice of 3 questions presented at the bottom of this page. Students should provide all the required information on the Form below. Or, they can access the form from a link (sent out to emails on the artlist). If you don't see the Form, try a different browser.
An extensive list of approved Art Experience Events is compiled every semester and is made available both digitally and in printed form. These are all Faculty Approved events. Students may also submit a form to get points for one event not on the Approved List. There is something to experience almost every day of the semester!
EXTREME ART EX POINTS!
Since many of students accumulate far more than 10 POINTS, and since attending more events than you have to means you could encounter/learn something really important . . . the student with the most POINTS will receive cash or certificate worth $100. Other awards can also come from places like the Arrington Book Store. In addition to a first place award of $100, 2nd is $25, and 3rd is $15.
