This interdisciplinary studio course takes as its object each individual artist’s “side project”—those ideas you’ve started but haven’t (or not wanted to) integrate with the “body” of your practice.  These side projects can be impulsive, half-baked, experimental, and ill-considered.  This course honors such ideas, brings them into focus, creates a space for their exploration, and, ultimately, subjects them to critique.  You may want to start a new side project for the class.  Artists working in all mediums are welcome, and this course may be most helpful for students in their final year of the program. The only requirement is that new work is created over the course of the term specifically for this class.  We won’t be making, or talking about, work that you “normally” make for critique, review, or exhibition.  Relevant readings may be assigned as appropriate.Fine Arts Seminars are intended to broaden and clarify students' perspective on contemporary art practice. Each semester these seminars shift in focus and subject matter. Seminars may concentrate on art from the perspectives of art history, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and so forth, or may take the form of a discipline-based critique focusing on the history, theory, and practice of painting, sculpture, and photography, among others.
