- Visual Arts Practicum I

Catalog description

Senior Visual Arts Practicum I & II are together a rigorous, year long, commitment to students developing and refining their individual voice and art practice. Students will engage in regular critical dialogue with classmates and faculty, as well as visiting artists. Focus will be on generating a steady flow of work in the studio, engaging in research that can elaborate upon connections between creative practice and the art historical/theoretical context, as well as drawing connections to the liberal art education. In the fall semester Seniors are required to participate in a group trip to New York City, led by faculty to meet artists, visit museums and galleries, bond together as a class and community and experience one of the art epicenters of the USA. Seniors have individual studios for the entirety of their Senior year. Senior capstone includes a group art show, artist statements and talks about the body of work the student has developed over the year. Senior Visual Arts Practicum I is offered in the fall and Senior Visual Arts Practicum II is offered in the spring.
