Synthesis Studio.

Catalog description

Semester course; 2 lecture and 3 studio hours. 3 credits. May be repeated for a maximum of 12 credits. This course will facilitate creative experimentation, individual student agency, critical engagement, research and speculation. Students engage in collaborative inquiry, peer learning and interdependent discovery in order to synthesize skills and ideas accumulated from other courses -- both inside and outside the program -- into creative work that builds toward developing individualized creative practices. Emphasis is placed on vertical integration of students across the sophomore and junior levels of the program through collaborative inquiry and peer learning. This course includes a comprehensive assessment of each student’s creative practice near the end of each semester.
