Full-Time Faculty: Martha Dunkelman, Chair; Jane Cary, Richard Falkenstein, Michael F. Tunney, S.J.
The Fine Arts Department provides opportunities for students to obtain a solid knowledge of the visual and performing arts. The department’s offerings include a major and a minor in Art History, a minor in Music, and a series of courses in Studio Art. These programs enable students to explore the arts for their own personal and professional development and to receive training in the theory and practice of the three areas involved.
Art History Program
Martha Dunkelman, Director.
Canisius College offers a major and a minor in Art History. The program includes a wide range of courses in the history of art from antiquity to the present. Courses are offered in the history of painting, sculpture, architecture, and film and film analysis. Majors, minors, and non-majors alike will acquire an understanding and appreciation of the cultural heritage of their own and other civilizations both past and present. In a world where ethnic and cultural clashes are commonplace, respect for the artistic heritage of all civilizations is essential.
Art history courses approach the study of art as a visual language. At all levels, students in these courses learn to decipher and interpret the vocabulary and syntax of a broad range of artistic styles within a cultural, historical, and global context. At the same time, they explore the relationship between function, form, and content in the visual arts of each culture. Students in all art history courses are introduced to a variety of critical methods of art historical analysis such as formal analysis, iconography, connoisseurship, feminism, Marxism, and deconstruction.
All courses are designed for majors, minors, and non-majors except FAH 460 and FAH 499, which are open to majors and minors only.
Electronic imaging technology is a major component of the art history major at Canisius. Students in art history courses learn from the most recent interactive multimedia technology as part of their art history training. Courses are conducted with interactive multimedia, as well as slides, in classrooms that are equipped with access to CD-ROMs and the Internet.
Museum internships are available to all junior and senior art history majors and minors. Students gain necessary hands-on experience in the researching, cataloging, and management of art collections in the Buffalo area. Students interested in careers in art history immediately upon graduation, as well as those contemplating graduate school, benefit strongly from the specialized training that these internships provide. In preparation for museum internships, students may take a Museum Studies course that introduces the student to museum research, curatorship, and administration.
Majors in Art History graduate with a truly liberal, humanistic education that prepares them for work in any profession where critical thinking, analysis, research, and writing skills are essential, and where cultural understanding and sensitivity are prerequisites. Art history courses also benefit students who plan to work in any field that deals with foreign cultures.
A number of professional options are open to the art history student, especially when coupled with graduate training. Students interested in specific careers as art historians may go on to become academic faculty, museum curators, archaeologists, or art conservators, or they may pursue careers in historical preservation, library science, interior design, art journalism, arts management, and many other fields.

Prospective majors and minors should see the Art History program director.

Music Program
Jane Cary, Director.
Canisius College offers a major and a minor in Music. Courses introduce students to the literature and performance of music, as well as its theory and technology. Music appreciation courses cover a wide range of musical styles and give students the basic materials of music and an introduction to the lives, works, and historical settings of the significant composers of the past and present. Through lectures, videos, listening to music examples in class, and attendance at concerts, the courses provide students with the basic musical vocabulary and listening skills needed to analyze and intellectually critique music of different cultures and to develop a clear understanding and appreciation of music of different periods.
Music theory courses stress creative and analytical skills, and music technology courses take an in-depth look at current digital music technologies used by musicians and sound designers. In keeping with the most recent technology in music, theory classes and music technology courses are taught in a state-of-the-art MIDI lab using Macintosh computers and Roland keyboards, as well as the software programs Finale and Practica Musica.
For students interested in the performance of music, the department offers music ensembles for academic credit. Private instruction can also be taken for credit in voice, piano, guitar, strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion.
Courses are designed for students of all levels, including majors, minors, and non-majors. Classes give students opportunities to think clearly, speak articulately, and perform confidently. By careful choice of electives, the major can be integrated with other areas of study, with the option of taking a second major or a minor in another department. For majors, courses will provide them with the skills necessary to pursue music related careers and/or graduate studies in professions including music history, music theory and composition, music education, music performance, musical theater, arts management, music merchandizing, music production, church music, and many other fields.
To accommodate individual goals and career objectives, students must choose electives carefully in consultation with the Music Program Director.
Admission
Prospective majors are required to take a vocal or instrumental performance audition in the spring semester prior to entering Canisius. Additional auditions for transfers into the program will be by special arrangement, as necessary.

Studio Art Program
Michael F. Tunney, S.J., Director.

The program promotes the individual’s visual sensibilities through hands-on experiences with a variety of materials and techniques.
