Catalog description

This course is a first semester of engagement in a self directed art practice using both modalities of research and creation within the Visual Arts community. Students will engage in regular critical dialogue with peers, faculty, and visiting artists. The students goal in this course is to focus on generating a steady independent  flow of work in the studio, and placing that work within a historical and critical context. Juniors will also work on artist statements and oral presentations of their work to peers and department. Juniors have a mandatory group trip to a midwest city that allows for meeting artists, visiting museums and galleries and creating bonds and community. Juniors have individual studio spaces for the fall semester.
