Course Objectives
This course is designed in conjunction with the capstone exhibition. Students will explore in-depth applications of lens-based, time-based, and hybrid media. This course will emphasize independent projects, working to develop the creation of a body of work that will be exhibited in the senior exhibition. Assignments will emphasize effective communication of ideas through images, hybrid work that engages technology, installation, and written statements. Students will understand the use of appropriate choices in media, technology, and installation within their practice. Classroom discussions, slide lectures, gallery visits, research projects, and critiques will expose the students to the conceptual components and contemporary trends in contemporary lens and time-based art. In presenting their work, each student will be expected to present the work orally as well as through various modes, including written statements about their work. These statements will contextualize their work within contemporary art practices. Students will be expected to produce writing that is stylistically appropriate and mature, adapting that writing to specific circumstances and audiences in both academic and professional contexts. Students will be expected to engage other students' work with dialogue that is stylistically appropriate and mature. During critiques, students will learn to communicate for academic and professional contexts, supporting a consistent purpose and point of view while considering and engaging opposing points of view.
