This hybrid studio course is designed to prepare students to pursue individual creative projects in a setting that supports critical thinking, risk-taking, and the production of a resolved body of work. Class discussions and readings will be wide-ranging with an emphasis on the creative process, the development of a personal voice, exchange of ideas, professional practices and practical topics in fine arts. Individualized critiques and meetings will follow the group discussions. This course prepares students for their Junior Review.
Students will begin defining a contextual framework and vocabulary for talking about their work as well as resolving form, content and technical issues. This hybrid class includes both in-person and virtual teaching methods. Virtual and in-person strategies will be given.
Engaging asynchronous material and homework will be structured through Moodle. Critiques, sharing of work, artist lectures, and student presentations will be introduced through a combination of virtual and in-person approaches that build community and help solidify the learning of and application of the Junior Tutorial and prepare the student for Junior Review. Juniors have a unique opportunity to work side by side with seniors in the studios physically and virtually.
