Course description:
Professionalism and excellence regarding the making of work in their chosen area of expertise. This will primarily consist in the areas of painting and photography but may also include printmaking. Students will be asked to achieve a sense of thematic direction in their work as a means of striving towards a practice that is sound both in concept and critique. Through rigorous study both in the studio and outside the classroom students will complete project-based works involving conceptual and visual stages that lead to resolved pieces. In addition theory will also be emphasized as a means to create a written body of work that discusses the students’ critical concerns inherent to their art practice and overall process.
The aim of this course is to develop a critically based professional art practice.
Throughout the semester, students will conduct individually based research in order to gain a full understanding of specific media. Students will, therefore, be asked to take their medium of choice and reflect on the broader implications of the medium itself. Lessons will consist of a large amount of theory work that result in written work related to a students’ practice over the course of the semester. This written work will also need to relate to broader international movements in contemporary art.
This course is intended for advanced students who have already mastered many technical skills related to their ‘craft’ but that are keen on taking their art to a level of professional distinction. This course builds upon the students’ previous knowledge coming into the course but requires them to push their art to highly advanced levels through self discipline and critical analysis. Students will, therefore, be asked to achieve three primary objectives: 1) synthesize what has been learned in previous undergraduate study 2) understand artistic practice in relation to the contemporary cultural landscape through a written work 3) consolidate direction of artistic practice through the production of an advanced body of art work.
Advanced Students must demonstrate previous course work in medium of choice, or demonstrate to instructor through previously completed work their potential to undertake the advanced studio level course.
