Description:

All second years must take both Thesis and Exhibitions in the two course sequence of Fall 2020 and Spring 2021. Taken together, the exhibition and written thesis form the capstone academic experience of the MFA Program in Fine Art. With Thesis, students complete a written thesis––a piece of writing that brings together the myriad facets of each artist’s practice, critical inquiry, personal exploration, and commitment. Students deeply engage in the nature of their creative work and produce a substantial and sustained piece of writing, whose backbone is research and an inquisitive methodology. The Exhibitions class prepares students for a public presentation of their work, including conversations around professional development, as well as strategies for a sustainable artistic practice after graduate school. The Thesis 2 and Exhibitions 2 sections will meet on alternating Thursdays from 4–5:55pm with specific dates for each course section forthcoming.  This two hour course meeting block may be delivered synchronously or asynchronously. One additional hour per week of optional faculty office hours, for individual or small group meetings, will also be available by arrangement.
