BC ART SHOW TO FEATURE PRINTMAKING

by | Feb 18, 2011

Bluefield College will host a traveling art show featuring the fine art of printmaking, February 28 through April 14, in the school’s Art Gallery in Lansdell Hall.

Featuring 25 original prints by 25 Christian artists, the “Silver: Codex VI” art show celebrates the 25th anniversary of Christians in the Visual Arts (CIVA), which organized the traveling exhibition.

Each artist responded to a work in the collection of the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. They interpreted selected images into a modern context, each using a printmaking medium to create new works.

“The range of images in ‘Silver,’ in combination with the variety of printmaking techniques, demonstrates that CIVA artists are not only rooted in the past, but are also looking forward to the future,” said Walter Shroyer, head of Bluefield College’s Art Department.

Formed as an organization in 1979 to bring together those interested in the intersection of art and the Christian faith, Christians in the Visual Arts is a nonsectarian and not-for-profit group that includes artists, iconographers, graphic designers, liturgical designers, curators, theologians, art historians, collectors, museums, churches, colleges, and seminaries, all from a wide variety of denominational affiliations. For more information on CIVA, visit www.civa.org.

The seven-week “Silver Codex VI” show will be on display in BC’s Art Gallery in Lansdell Hall from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday. Weekend hours may be obtained by emailing [email protected].

Do I only apply once?

  • No. Students must apply each academic year for the fall semester and submit the necessary documents.

Do I have to take the classes specified in the Associate's Degree tracks as they are listed on the information sheet?

  • No. Students may take any of the courses that are offered in a given term.

Where do I find the textbook listing, and where do I purchase the books?

  • Log in to myBU, and under the "Student" tab, you will find a list of the textbooks required (if any) for each course. Students are responsible for purchasing their own textbooks.

How long is a semester?

  • Our semesters are divided into two 8-week terms.

Is there an orientation?

  • Yes. Students can attend an orientation session that explains how to access courses, how to register for classes, and answers other questions.

Where can I find a course description?

Does the student need to take the SAT or ACT in order to take Dual Enrollment classes?

  • No. If a student decides to study at BU full time, BU is currently test-optional for the 2021-2022 admissions cycle.

Are the classes live? Do students need to log in and participate at certain times?

  • Classes are offered online, so a student can log-on and study at their convenience and their own pace. Students have assignments due each week; you can complete your assignments at any point in time before the deadline.

Does an Early College student need to come to campus for anything?

  • No. However, we would love to have you visit our campus if you are interested in continuing with traditional on-campus study. Students who complete their associate's degree have the option to walk at our commencement ceremony.

Are Early College students able to receive Financial Aid?

  • No. However, Early College courses are very affordable compared to other options. The cost for an online Dual Enrollment course is $100 per credit hour.

How do transferring credits work?

  • Each College or University completes a transcript review in order to decide which courses transfer. Sticking to general education classes generally makes transferring credits simple. All Early College courses at Bluefield University are general education classes that should transfer to another accredited institution.

Is an Early College student considered, and treated, as a transfer student when they become a full-time college student if they have earned enough credits to be a Junior?

  • No. Since they have not graduated from high school, they are considered a first-time college student regardless of how many credits transfer. However, by transferring credits when they enroll as a full-time student, they will have to take fewer classes to receive their bachelor's degree, which shortens the length of time to earn the degree.

Can I speak to someone if I have more questions?

  • Yes. Please contact the Office of Admissions by email or you can call them at 276.326.4231
