Advanced Studio Syllabus for Spring 23
Advanced Studio Tentative Schedule Spring 23 Spring semester you will work toward your senior exhibition with alternating group and individual critiques. General Class Goals:
• Be Generative: develop a consistent art practice that embraces the process of making, taking risks, showing initiative, motivation, preparedness, responsibility. Structure your time well. You are expected to spend at least 12 hours/week working. • Deepen your content: be curious, develop metaphors, irony and mystery while avoiding cliches. Experience progress in areas that are difficult for you. Pay attention to detail. • Develop research, writing and documentation skills that compliment your work. Anchor your work in its appropriate context: historically, culturally, socially, aesthetically and with regard to other courses you are taking and knowledge you have. • Be Generous: Help each other and make art in relationship to others: class, community, beyond. Attend class on time and participate.
