Individual Studio Critique & Review 2

Catalog description

This course focuses on the MFA student’s individual art practice, in which they will test the boundaries of their knowledge and skills, and push both materials and concepts into new terrains. Students will develop their art practice with consideration of methods of presentation, spatial context, and audience in preparation for their mid program review presentation and exhibition. Students will develop the practical and theoretical complexities of their art practice by exploring how their ideas can be communicated through their chosen mediums, applying knowledge gained from a range of sources and contexts. This course is composed of one-on-one studio critiques with NYUAD faculty and visiting artists, as well as external artists and museum and gallery professionals. The class provides a platform for the students to present their work and the aesthetic, technical, and expressive concepts underlying it, and will also include group critiques with their MFA peers. Outside of these critiques, students will dedicate the class hours to art-making in their studios.
