Blog
Social Media
You will be responsible for a weekly social media post
related to your personal avenue of expression.
Historical and contemporary artists should be used as influence and
inspiration.
Critiques
Your finished major projectss will be looked at and
discussed critically with your peers.
Attendance and participation is mandatory. This is one of the most important tools
artists use to help reflect and improve their work. I will be available for one private critique
for each project to be scheduled during the semester.
Minor Works and
Studies
These studies will consume a great amount of studio time
during the semester. They will be used
to explore and solidify aesthetic thoughts and processes related to the final 2
major projects.
Mid Term and Final Project
These projects will be of the students choice and the
student should give thoughtful consideration to them. They will take a longer period of time to
complete than the minor works and studies
