​Advanced Studio is a class shared by all Kenyon Faculty on a rotating basis. 

This site is for Esslinger's Section:

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.
