VAST 220: Visual Art Studio: Topic

This is a studio-based special topics course, focused on a specific set of materials, processes and approaches to be explored by students. Through a combination of classroom activities that may include projects, collaborations, discussions, presentations, lectures, critiques, tutorials, workshops and technical demonstrations, students will develop skills relevant to a specific area of practice, alongside relevant critical, historical, and theoretical content. Students develop ideas and techniques through an iterative process, which includes experimentation, discussion, integrating feedback and research. Technical and critical abilities acquired in a particular medium or process could include various disciplines within art and will be explored in the broader context of contemporary art practice.
