~ADVICE for First Year Students~

If you think you might pursue a major or minor in a visual and/or historical discipline, you should plan to elect a few art department courses during your first year if possible. This is particularly important if you are planning to study art abroad during your junior year or if you are considering a double major in art history/studio.

The Art Department does not give credit for AP classes in Studio or Art History.

Art History & Art Studio Foundation:

ARTH 100 (fall) and ARTH 101 (spring)
WRITING 125 is a special section of ARTH 100 and ARTH 101, which enables you to receive credit for both art history and your writing requirements.

Art Studio & Architecture Foundation:

ARTS 105 (drawing I) or ARTS 113 (three-dimentional design)

Media Arts Foundation:

ARTS 109 (two-dimensional design) or ARTS 108 (- requires an application available on Community and other FC conferences as well as www.wellesley.edu/Art/Photography.)
ARTH 101 (spring)
