Professional Practices in Studio Art

Catalog description

In this course, students consider several aspects of an artist's work that are not related to studio practice, but are nonetheless crucial as a creative practitioner. The course will combine seminar discussions, guest lectures and workshop sessions. Areas to cover include: how to produce effective artist's statements and resumes, marketing and self-promotion; how to use photography to document your artwork; grant-writing strategies; and cover letters for residencies and internships. Students will be expected to review their blog or website including the statements, resumes and photos produced in the course.
