Portfolio Reviews for Interior Design Majors
The interior design curriculum is structured to enable students to develop the following competencies:
At the completion of ART 2440, Presentation Techniques, during approximately the 14th week of the semester, each student will participate in the mid-point portfolio review. The review consists of:
This review evaluates drafting skills, perspective drawing ability, textural rendering skills, lettering skills, craftsmanship, use of color and mastery of watercolor, marker, pencil and ink rendering techniques. A high level of commitment to professional performance standards and skills is required of all students.
The mid-point portfolio review determines whether a student has acquired the prerequisite skills to continue to upper-division courses in the interior design program. If a student does not pass the review, faculty will advise the student regarding courses that should be repeated in order to master the skills necessary to continue in the program.
Transfer students who have completed interior design courses at other schools must submit work for review when they are counseled preceding their initial registration at UNT.
As a part of course requirements for ART 4740, Professional Practices in Interior Design, students are required to present the entire body of work completed since the mid-point portfolio review for approval by the interior design faculty. Students are provided specific evaluation statements that identify strengths and weaknesses of the portfolio. Failure to participate in the senior review or presentation of unsatisfactory work will result in a grade of F or I in ART 4740 and delay graduation. Reviews are not conducted during the summer session; the portfolio review course may not be taken at this time.
Record of success in passing each review will be furnished to the student and recorded for the School of Visual Arts.
A professional development composite of courses from engineering technology, merchandising and hospitality management, and business administration comprise the required minor for interior design majors. These courses are incorporated into the four-year plan above.
