Senior Project courses in the Fine Arts division are the culmination of each student’s individual course of study. Seniors will concentrate on developing a body of work for their senior show, as well as the pertinent issues relating to professional practices. Students will work one-on-one with faculty and as a class to create and fully realize an ambitious and well articulated public presentation of their work and concepts. We will look critically at your independent research and studio practice, exploring ways to deepen your engagement, connections to your field and further define your relationship to ongoing contemporary dialogues. First semester seniors prepare proposals for their senior exhibitions and second semester students mount their exhibitions and deliver a formal presentation of their work. Professional practices such as resume building, writing artist statements and project proposals, applying for grants and residences, jobs, public projects or graduate school; documentation of work; locating commercial, independent and alternative venues and formats for exhibition or sales; giving artist talks; community building and more will be discussed. Students will define individual opportunities and set goals for their lives outside CCA and in the wider arts community. Junior and Senior Projects courses are often paired and cross-disciplinary to build community, mentorship opportunities and professional relationships.
