COURSE DESCRIPTION
The advanced studio seminar is offered to students who wish to
pursue a concentrated investigation of materials, methods and ideas.
Majors are required to enroll. Students are expected to produce
a self-generated body of creative work. Coursework consists of
intensive individual critiques of artwork made for the course,
lectures, quizzes, readings and discussions, as well as graduate
school research.
Lectures will address modern and postmodern art, the activities
and details of preparing for an exhibition, and relevant
politics of the systems known as visual culture.
CRITIQUES
Critiques of assignments are important to the progress of
each individual in the class, and to the success of the
course itself.
The critique
fosters development of an ability to verbalize visual concepts,
and will help you learn to see actively.
Critiques are a time for articulating your ideas and formal
decisions, and for discovering how your creative products
communicate through
larger systems of symbolism, visual associations, memory,
metaphor, psychoanalytic readings, and the history of
knowledges and
materials. Participation in critiques will be considered
in grades for all
assignments.
TEXT AND READINGS

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
Attendance is mandatory and essential to the course. An unexcused
absence is one where you do not talk to me in class prior to your
absence. Several classes are scheduled for you to work in your
studio. If you attend the beginning of class but thereafter are
unprepared to work in your studio, you will be marked as absent.
Each unexcused absence will lower your grade by ten points out
of a total of 100 points.
