COURSE DESIGN

Weekly classes involve a combination of individual and group reflection, individual and group critiques, lectures, group discussion, and committee work. Students complete weekly readings, process exercises, research, artistic projects and committee work in preparation for each class meeting. The semester culminates in the presentation of the student’s body of work in the Senior Art Exhibition. Expect to spend at least ten hours per week on course work outside of class time.
