BFA Senior Capstone Experience

Catalog description

This course constitutes a capstone experience for senior BFA art majors and culminates in an exhibition in the Carroll Gallery of the Newcomb Art Department. The course intends to explore the framework of a professional studio practice: sustaining healthy work habits following graduation, creating/selecting/installing/presenting/documenting a body of work in an exhibition venue, writing clear and articulate artist statements and exhibition or residency proposals, and actively interfacing with other artists, gallerists, critics, and curators in the field. Through in-class presentations, group critiques, field trips, and written assignments, students will formulate plans and practices for a post-graduation career in the arts.
