In this course students develop a self-directed, unified body of work as a culminating project for their art studies. We will concentrate on developing research-based, sustained investigations to up the ante on the work you have done in other classes. Students will be asked to consider their work in the context of current concerns in art and contemporary culture. Readings, slide shows, field trips, critiques and presentations will provide a basis for your studio work, which may be executed in any media and in any combination of image, text, object, environment, video, live performance and/or sound. Proposals for the term's work will be due the second week of class.
This course blog will be used to gather and present information of common interest. Start and maintain a course blog of your ownto record and share ideas, imagery development, research, responses to readings, discussions, critiques and field trips, as well as the general evolution of your studio work. Even if you already have other blogs , make one dedicated to your work in this class alone. You can use Blogger or Wordpress or another. Email the url to me and I will link it to this blog.
Conduct regular research of contemporary artists relevant to your work via art journals, NY Times Friday reviews (available online and weekly in class), e-flux, websites and other sources and post to your personal class blog. You will be required to speak about the artists you research at least once during the term (see course schedule).
