This Senior Studio (Open Studio) course provides students with the opportunity to propose and develop a self-directed body of work. Sections are taught by a singular faculty member or offered in a team-taught model with the option of discipline specificity. Whether through assigned projects, artistic production, research, discussions, writing and critique, students are expected to increase their understanding of the content and context of their process and production as well as their knowledge of contemporary art. Students meet regularly for group seminars as well as in one-to-one tutorials with their instructor(s). Critiques and discussions complement studio production where considerable independent time and maturity is expected.
This course is subject to priority rules; see here.
