Critical Making

Catalog description

Critical Making is designed for students to start, develop, and complete a cohesive, well-formed body of work over the course of the semester, while connecting the physical act of their creative objects (photographs, prints, metal work, books, sculptures, ceramics, painting, art performance) with the conceptualization of their ideas, concerns, and intentions in the work. Through self-directed inquiry and extensive critique, students will create a body of work in their chosen medium. Artist presentations, videos, and readings will serve to clarify and motivate students’ progress, as well as field and library research. Two (2) Lecture hours, and One (1) Lab hour. Course fee: $40. Prerequisite(s): The successful completion of three Studio Art courses with a grade of C or higher
