Social Media
You will be responsible for a weekly social media post. It may be assigned or can be related to your personal avenue of expression. Historical and contemporary artists should be used as influence and inspiration.
Critiques
Your finished major projectss will be looked at and discussed critically with your peers. Attendance and participation is mandatory. This is one of the most important tools artists use to help reflect and improve their work. I will be available for one private critique for each project to be scheduled during the semester.
Minor Works and Studies
These studies will consume a great amount of studio time during the semester. They will be used to explore and solidify aesthetic thoughts and processes related to the final 2 major projects.
Mid Term and Final Project
These projects will be of the students choice and the student should give thoughtful consideration to them. They will take a longer period of time to complete than the minor works and studies
