This course is specifically designed for students of color creating race/identity/culturally specific work in a major and/or course environment/s not equipped with the proper instructional tools and/or direction to fully articulate the students work—usually from lack of culturally/racially specific knowledge of the instructor and limited course dynamics. Students will learn how to present, develop, utilize resources, and defend such work, in less-than understanding course environments. This studio will create a space and network of support and leadership development for BIPOC students at CCA (particularly students working on senior thesis/capstone projects that focus on issues of identity, historical narratives, and representation). Through support and collaboration with the greater CCA community, students will have a curated experience in wellness, campus culture, academic support, community development, and history. Students will have the opportunity to meet with a range of CCA and community leaders to gain a deep understanding of the college’s culture.Upper Division Interdisciplinary Studios extend a student's cross-school experience from Core Studio up into their upper division years. 3 units of Interdisciplinary Studio are required of all majors and must be completed in the junior or senior year. This advanced level studio is thematic in nature. Technical demonstrations are paired with thoughtful readings, seminar discussions and ambitious projects. Collaboration, experimentation and presentation skills are developed in concert with critical thinking.
